I do not think that (case) means what you think it means
[QUOTE=MrKim0927;2480608]I really hate to break it to you but someone has to shed a little more light on the subject.

That was a court case in which a circuit court judge ruled probably cause was justified on the grounds that her hands were at the 10 and 2 position and was therefore suspicious.
"As Ms. Westhoven drove past him, Agent Semmerling noticed she had a "stiff posture" and her arms were "straight and locked out" at a "ten-and-two position on the steering wheel". ".
Goes on to say; "Although Ms. Westhoven did not appear to be speeding, Agent Semmerling decided to turn around to follow her and run a registration check. ".
Unfortunately the 4th amendment doesn't really do anything anymore.[/QUOTE]The case doesn't speak to probable cause for an arrest, rather it addresses whether there was reasonable suspicion to detain the suspect for an investigative stop. The appeals court specifically notes that the standard for these kinds of stops "reasonable suspicion," is much lower than probable cause. The behavior was hinky enough to justify a stop, the stop was short enough to not be an arrest, and the marijuana they found provided probable cause for the arrest.
S. OBT was a traffic jam yesterday.
I know this is a bit late but was busy around the Florida Mall and must have seen 8-10 SW of all shapes and sizes. Could not partake as I had work to do. Stay safe out there and have a great Memorial Day!
