OR: Stop was with RS, but it dissipated with consent search that came up empty

Defendant might have been stopped with reasonable suspicion, but it dissipated. Defendant had scabs on his arm from IV drug use. Defendant even consented to a search of his car that turned up nothing. At that point, defendant should have been released, but he wasn’t, and the stop become too long and without further reasonable suspicion of current drug use being suggested. State v. Sherman, 274 Ore. App. 764, 2015 Ore. App. LEXIS 1297 (Nov. 12, 2015).*

Defendant’s car was stopped for not signaling, and there were three passengers, and the smell of burnt marijuana was obvious. That gave probable cause to search the car for marijuana. United States v. McMillan, 2015 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 153799 (D.Minn. Oct. 21, 2015).*

Defendant’s stop was with reasonable suspicion, and his flight from the car and seizure of cocaine and a gun would not be suppressed. United States v. Barton, 2015 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 154839 (M.D.Pa. Nov. 17, 2015).*
