Question Presented (OCR Extract)

Questions Presented for Review 1. Whether an officer’s interspersed drug interdiction questions impermissibly extend a traffic stop per this Court’s decision in Rodriguez v. United States, 575 U.S. 348 (2015). 2. Whether the principles established in this Court’s opinion in Rodriguez v. United States, 575 U.S. 348 (2015) apply when a law enforcement officer terminates a traffic stops, and reengages with the suspect thereafter. 3. Whether both extrinsic evidence and intrinsic evidence may be used to find an officer’s testimony not credible. 4. Whether the Eighth Circuit’s approach in finding a defendant ineligible for safety valve relief per 18 U.S.C. § 3553(f) on the Government’s bare assertion that the defendant’s proffer was “untruthful,” without more, should be reversed in favor of the First, Fifth, and Ninth Circuit’s burden-shifting approach. ii
