Does Rodriguez v. United States, 135 S. Ct. 1609 (2015) permit a traffic stop to be extended based on a suspicion that had already been dispelled by police database checks and searches?
QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Does Rodriguez v. United States, 135 S. Ct. 1609 (2015) permit a traffic stop to be extended based on a suspicion that had already been dispelled by police database checks and searches? Zs Is the theoretical possibility of a “VIN swap” a valid basis to extend a traffic stop in the absence of evidence that the VIN has in fact been tampered with, and is examination of a non-public VIN an extension of a traffic stop where the public VIN is visible and intact, see United States v. Caro, 248 F.3d 1240, 1246 (10th Cir. 2001)? 3. May officers extend a traffic stop by claiming ignorance of a database search that the record shows was run by one of the officers on the scene?
