VI: The question is not whether the driver is guilty of a traffic offense, just whether there is RS

The officer stopped defendant because he swerved, and defendant claimed it was because he was avoiding a pedestrian. The government isn’t required to prove that it was true or not; the question is reasonable suspicion of bad driving, and it was. Then the odor of marijuana was detected. People v. Turnbull, 2014 V.I. LEXIS 46 (Super.Ct. June 23, 2014).*

Defendant’s blood was taken by search warrant and not by the implied consent law, so its taking was valid. Whitaker v. State, 2014 Miss. LEXIS 321 (July 17, 2014).*

The officer was justified in stopping the defendant’s car because of a cracked windshield. Then he was really nervous and he consented to a search of the car. State v. Herron, 2014-Ohio-3166, 2014 Ohio App. LEXIS 3083 (2d Dist. July 18, 2014).*
