Question Presented (from Petition)

Does an empty container with "THC" on the cover justify an extended detention in a traffic stop and support the seizure of the driver and search of the vehicle?

Can after-the-fact collection of the "totality of the circumstances" justify state action before the fact as to legitimize a state seizure and search?
