Nonspecific information about the color of skin and dress of a suspect did not justify stopping the defendant. Once stopped, reasonable suspicion did not develop from his comments about where he was going which the officer found directionally challenged. “Most importantly, however, mere inconsistency between origin and direction of travel fails to provide reasonable suspicion of involvement in criminal activity.” Consent did not purge the taint. State v. Anguiano, 37 Kan. App. 2d 202, 151 P.3d 857 (2007).*<\/p>\n
Inventory policy that requires an inventory of all locked containers was valid. It extended to any situation where the keys of a locked vehicle were being turned over to a towing company. “Further, by requiring officers to complete an inventory search of trunks when the trunk will be accessible to the third-party towing company, Gresham’s policy removes any discretion on the part of the officers and provides the standardized procedures favored by the Supreme Court.” United States v. Williams, 2007 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 11022 (D. Ore. February 15, 2007).*<\/p>\n
