PA: A command to roll down the window with an officer on each side of the car is an investigative detention

Defendant’s stop and one officer on each side and a command to roll down the window tells him that he’s required to talk to the officer. That’s an investigative detention. Commonwealth v. Powell, 2020 Pa. Super. LEXIS 67 (Feb. 3, 2020).

Defendant’s witnesses that the LPN light was working the day after the stop were seemingly credible, but they don’t overcome the dashcam video that shows it out. United States v. Callison, 2020 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 16670 (S.D. Iowa Jan. 29, 2020).*

Defendant’s stop for driving in the left lane too long without passing was the valid basis for the stop. After that, the passenger’s obvious nervousness and inability to answer basis questions was reasonable suspicion. United States v. Rodriguez, 2020 U.S. App. LEXIS 3231 (5th Cir. Jan. 31, 2020).*
