NC: This traffic stop was not based on an objectively reasonable view of statute; stop suppressed

The officer’s mistaken view of the law allegedly justifying the stop was not objectively reasonable under Heien and thus completely without reasonable suspicion. State v. Jonas, 2021-NCCOA-660, 2021 N.C. App. LEXIS 678 (Dec. 7, 2021).

This probation search was valid: “The R&R also properly concluded that the search was supported by reasonable suspicion, because Agent Vierzba had been informed by a colleague that Devin and another probationer had recently exchanged text messages and a photo of methamphetamine. Under the totality of the circumstances, the search of Defendants’ apartment was reasonable under the Fourth Amendment.” United States v. Blom, 2021 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 233901 (D.Minn. Dec. 7, 2021).*
