Thus, \u201cwe cannot say that the district court committed plain error in admitting the evidence gathered during the traffic stop. At trial, Officer Powers testified that he conducted the traffic stop because (1) Hill made unusual lane changes to distance himself from Powers&#8217;s patrol car and (2) the license place database showed that Hill had made a suspiciously quick round trip to Atlanta. Drawing on his experience as an officer, as is permitted under Supreme Court precedent, Powers determined that these circumstances gave him the necessary \u2018reasonable suspicion\u2019 of criminal activity to justify a traffic stop. See Arvizu, 534 U.S. at 273. And because Hill does not, and cannot, point to any \u2018controlling precedent from the Supreme Court or the Eleventh Circuit\u2019 that would make these circumstances insufficient for demonstrating reasonable suspicion, we cannot find that the district court committed plain error.\u201d [Or is this: you can\u2019t show us the officer was wrong, so that\u2019s that?
