N.D.Ill.: Stopping work on the traffic ticket when the drug dog arrived resulted in lengthening the detention without RS

“Officer Allen admits that he was not printing the police department’s copy of the first citation or processing the second citation during the drug sniff. Rather, he completely stopped his traffic-related mission as soon as Officer Wiebe arrived and worked to ensure the safety of Officer Wiebe and support the completion of the canine officer’s mission. And, indeed, Officer Allen did not resume processing the two citations until after he had returned to the police station upon Sykes’s arrest.” Motion to suppress granted. United States v. Sykes, 2022 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 978 (N.D.Ill. Jan. 4, 2022).
