What evidence have you seen that brown skin is the basis for getting pulled over?

Homan has publicly stated that appearance is a criteria for reasonable suspicion, but carry on lol.

Which specific cases are you referring to where this didn’t happen?


In the discussion over the recent judge decision, I asked what criteria people were being pulled over for.

MANY in the thread basically took a "we don't give a frick why" position on it.

Hence, this thread.

Reasonable ARTICULABLE suspicion.


What is the difference and where in the law do you find the word articulable?

Should you expect to be pulled over routinely?
Carrying a hidden load of illegals?

Yep I would.

The courts have NEVER ruled that cops can pull you over for no reason. NEVER.


You must not read a lot of court opinions. I will grant you this: I have not seen a court address a routine stop. The reason for that is because it has never been addressed.

The reason it has never been addressed is because it is the very next action that has been addressed. Was the search performed based on reason...was the evidence obtained based on reason.

You do realize that there is no legal basis to even talk to a police officer. You can merely state that I will answer questions in the presence of my lawyer and see what they do.

The simple answer to your question is...if the stop itself is not based on reasonable suspicion (taillight, etc) and nothing is provided to the officer during the stop, then the search and seizure does not comply.. but the stop itself has no constitutional limitation.

Indianapolis vs Edmund?

Even Sitz, a ruling that was probably for the best if looked at as a single issue in a vacuum, is widely and justifiably criticized as the court working backwards from perceived consequences rather than an accurate interpretation of law.

I’ve always thought it was a somewhat disconcerting precedent to say “it’s okay if this is unconstitutional by the letter, if the high court thinks it’s for the best.”

Despite agreeing with the court’s conclusion that it was in fact for the best.

Where on fricking Earth that I advocate for total lawlessness? You think our fourth amendment supports total lawlessness? You think please having to have an actual specified reason for pulling you over is total lawlessness? Good God


This judge ruled that they must have probable cause. The law is clearly reasonable suspicion. It’s ok to criticize the judge.

The law says reasonable suspicion warrants questioning.

Probable cause is required for arrest, detainment, search etc.

Not much room for interpretation.

So, in your view, if you are an actual American of hispanic descent, you should just expect that you'll have to be stopped for no reason whatsoever so they can check you?


You are arguing against no one.
Reasonable suspicion considers the totality of the circumstances. No law enforcement is going to argue that there is reasonable suspicion due to a person of hispanic descent driving a car.

You start adding information law enforcement has then there may be reasonable suspicion to pull over the hispanic to further investigate.

This Judge's ruling strikes me as a lot of talk with no teeth. Was there an actual example of a stop that lacked reasonable suspicion? No one should be concerned with this ruling as it will not change it a thing.

Correct. And this judge said you cannot stop unless you have probable cause. It’s absurd.

Reasonable Suspicion does not equal a hunch. The police officer needs to be able to articulate a specific set of facts that leads him to the suspicion. Hence the word articulable which by the way can be found in multiple places which is the entire point of the acronym RAS

K. We can debate what reasonable suspicion means all day. I welcome it. It is irrelevant to the fact this judge changed the standard to probable cause. You ignore that.


And where in the law do you find the word “articulable?”

Ngl seems like a sound argument here. I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on my reply to dafif referencing the two SCOTUS cases. I do think there is actually precedent for the articulable verbiage regarding reasonable suspicion.

Here's the suspicion must be based on an articulable set of facts

Is this an academic exercise or do you have actual examples of ICE, as a matter of policy, is detaining people without reasonable suspicion?

I’ll go back and see which cases you cited.


And I don’t necessarily disagree that articulable may be appropriate, but I fail to understand the distinction. And it is a term not used in law enforcement. (Though I haven’t been a prosecutor for over a decade…so it may have changed).

Man…I never thought a 4th Amendment purist such as yourself would cite the Terry stop.

ETA: that court specifically stated probable cause was not necessary. The opposite of what this judge ruled.

The Supreme Court ruled specifically in Terry that probable cause was not necessary. Since we’re having an academic discussion, as you have provided zero examples of Terry being violated….why aren’t you criticizing this judge for changing the standard the Supreme Court set?
