Defendant was approached at an Iowa airport after he got off an Interstate bus. The airport was a transfer point to him, and he was not flying. VIPR officers approached him because they thought his red lettered Pirate\u2019s baseball cap and red shoe laces were gang colors. They made him come inside where they had him remove his shirt to photograph tattoos. He was seized and Mendenhall<\/a> was distinguishable because Mendenhall was encountered in transit in an airport, not removed to the airport for a search. United States v. Wodesso, 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 23535 (N.D. Iowa March 15, 2010).*<\/p>\n

Telling the defendant during a traffic stop where he was in the patrol car because of the cold that he was \u201cgood to go\u201d was indicative that the rest was consensual. The stop was recorded, and the officer was always respectful toward the defendant who kept talking. United States v. Rodriguez, 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 23541 (W.D. Mich. March 15, 2010).*<\/p>\n

Defendant\u2019s detention before probable cause arose was reasonable. United States v. Goetting, 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 23682 (E.D. Ky. March 15, 2010).*<\/p>\n

Defendant was not \u201cstopped\u201d by the police. He pulled up to a stop sign and stopped, and he looked in his rearview mirror and saw a police car behind him. He did not move. The officer got out and walked up to him without even putting his lights on. United States v. Harrington, 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 23531 (N.D. Iowa February 17, 2010).*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
