North Carolina Criminal Law NC Criminal Law

I’ve updated my paper on traffic stops to include Rodriguez v. United States, __ U.S. __, 135 S. Ct. 1609 (2015), and other recent cases. It’s available here. For those not familiar with the paper, it is a summary of the law regarding traffic stops, including typical reasons for such stops, the stops’ duration, the techniques that officers may and may not use during such stops, and the termination of the stops. I update it periodically and post new versions on the blog as they become available. As always, reader feedback is invited.
