How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• distinguishing Beck and finding reasonable suspicion in part because of the apparent implausibility of the defendant’s stated travel plans
• acknowledging Beck but still finding reasonable suspicion to extend a traffic stop in part because the defendant “was palpably nervous, made no eye contact, and kept his arms crossed”
• reasonable suspicion existed when, without any prior knowledge of the driver and passenger, officer observed nervousness, lack of eye contact, inconsistent stories, and that the two were from different states
