The court tolerates pretextual traffic stops and has sanctioned police reliance on an individual\u2019s \u201capparent Mexican ancestry\u201d at the border and its \u2018functional equivalents\u2019 to be a relevant factor justifying a traffic stop based on reasonable suspicion.\u201d)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Slate: New Jersey Provides a Road Map for Fighting Racially Biased Traffic Stops by Aliza Hochman Bloom (\u201cWhen the Supreme Court struck down the use of race-conscious admissions at Harvard and the University of North Carolina last term, the conservative &hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/?p=55877\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[86],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-55877","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-pretext"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55877","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=55877"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55877\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":55878,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55877\/revisions\/55878"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=55877"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=55877"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=55877"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
