United States v. Wade Allen Wheat

How courts have described this case

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

• noting that “White did not create a rule requiring that' a tip predict future action, and neither ■ did J.L.”
• noting that anonymous tips can reliably support reasonable suspicion for a Terry stop when “innocent details” are corroborated
• stating that investigatory stop of motor vehicle is “considerably less invasive, both physically and psychologically, than the frisk on a public corner that was at issue in [Florida v.] J.L.”
• applying harmless-error principles in the context of plain-error review and concluding that “any Apprendi error is harmless”
• noting that “the predictive aspects of an anonymous tip may be less applicable to tips purporting to describe contemporaneous, readily observable criminal actions, as in the case of erratic driving witnessed by another motorist”
• surveying and concurring with cases that find J.L. distinguishable from cases involving eyewitness tips alleging contemporaneous and openly dangerous illegality
