How courts have described this case

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

• holding that nervousness, difficulty answering basic questions about an itinerary, and failure to be forthright about criminal history was sufficient to constitute reasonable suspicion
• holding that the driver’s vague and conflicting answers to simple questions about his trip were legitimate factors the officer could consider when developing reasonable suspicion
• holding that defendant's vague and conflicting answers to simple questions about his itinerary, along with nervousness and misrepresentation of criminal history, gave officer reasonable suspicion to detain defendant
• stating that “a reasonable investigation during a traffic stop may include . . . requesting the driver to sit in the patrol car” (quotation simplified)
• holding unusual nervousness, inability to explain inconsistencies about defendant's itinerary, and a prior history of drug convictions provided reasonable suspicion to delay the stop to call for a drug dog
• finding reasonable suspicion to extend a traffic stop in part because the defendant had a “visibly elevated heart rate” indicative of unusual nervousness
