Defendant was a passenger in the car, and it was stopped with reasonable suspicion. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mssc.state.ms.us\/Images\/Opinions\/CO68616.pdf\">Spurlock v. State<\/a>, 67 So. 3d 811 (Miss. App. 2011), Rehearing en banc denied, 2011 Miss. App. LEXIS 467 (Miss. Ct. App.,<br \/>\nAug. 9, 2011):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u00b612. In this case, the police received a phone call from an unidentified male while executing a search warrant at Jefferson\u2019s home. When police answered, the caller asked, \u201cAre you ready to re-up?\u201d Before receiving the call, the police had uncovered marijuana, ecstacy, and handguns in Jefferson\u2019s home. While the police did not have any identifying information for the caller other than his gender, they reasonably suspected that someone was approaching Jefferson\u2019s home with contraband. Therefore, the police utilized a roadblock to confirm their reasonable suspicion. Because the police had reasonable suspicion, their investigatory stop of the vehicle in which Spurlock was a passenger was not unconstitutional. As such, the circuit court did not err in denying Spurlock\u2019s motion to suppress.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>[And the Mississippi courts website still sucks.]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>b2evALnk.b2WPAutP <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/?p=5274\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"pingsdone","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5274","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5274","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5274"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5274\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5274"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5274"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5274"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
