SCOTUS: Call about suspicious vehicle led to passengers’ flight and bad driving, and that was RS for a stop

The officer had reasonable suspicion to stop defendant because, already on alert from the late-night dispatch call about a suspicious vehicle, the officer observed every person in defendant’s car respond strangely to an approaching police car as two passengers took off running and defendant, who was in the driver’s seat, began backing out of the parking space, ignoring the car’s open back door. Defendant’s own actions, combined with the panicked flight of his companions, strongly suggested that he was engaged in unlawful conduct he wished to hide from police. District of Columbia v. R.W., 2026 U.S. LEXIS 1858 (Apr. 20, 2026) (per curiam)
