GA: Minor inconsistencies between driver and passenger during stop aren’t RS

Nervousness is normal during a traffic stop. “Lastly, inconsistencies in answers to police questions do not give rise to reasonable articulable suspicion unless the inconsistencies in the car occupants’ statements are meaningful.” These weren’t, so there was no reasonable suspicion. McNeil v. State, 2021 Ga. App. LEXIS 561 (Nov. 19, 2021).

Part of this search warrant was overbroad. That doesn’t void the whole search. Remanded for the trial court to determine the extent of seizure under the overbroad portion. People v. Herron, 2021 NY Slip Op 06512, 2021 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 6552 (4th Dept. Nov. 19, 2021).*
