Defendant pulled his car into a convenient driveway for his stop, but he had no standing in the curtilage because it wasn\u2019t his place. The car he had standing in, but this was a plain view. State v. Gunn<\/a>, 2026 Tenn. Crim. App. LEXIS 75 (Crim. App. Feb. 18, 2026).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stop for a traffic offense ripened into reasonable suspicion for further investigation as the officer followed up a tip. State v. Williams, 2026 N.C. App. LEXIS 92 (Feb. 18, 2026).*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBased on these principles and the totality of the circumstances, we discern no error in the district court’s determination that the officers here had reasonable suspicion to support Jenkins’s seizure. The officers received their tip from an individual who made his report in person and provided the officers with all of his personal identifying information. The basis of informant’s knowledge–his presence with Jenkins throughout the day, knowledge of the firearm’s location, and awareness of the corroborating timing of his suspicions-supported his tip’s reliability. Finally, the officers corroborated several aspects of the tip before detaining Jenkins.\u201d United States v. Jenkins, 2026 U.S. App. LEXIS 4795 (4th Cir. Feb. 18, 2026).*<\/p>\n\n\n\n
