I absolutely HATE that scenario 6 is a legal stop, and can't agree more with the reasons for dissent....

You hate that the stop for an expired plate is illegal? Or you disagree with what occurred after the stop? Big difference.

I got the "drug house" stop wrong. I thought officers could ask you for id if they wanted to.

 

[Doublehelix]

I missed 3! Ouch!

 

[Fargo]

I missed 3! Ouch!

Number 3 is really poorly written.The question gives you almost none of the justifications for the stop, and then the answer gives you a whole ton of information you didn't know that does make the stop legal. As written, I would say the answer to number three is no.

After......keep the interaction within the realm of why the citizen was stopped in the first place....

They can. The circumstances will dictate on whether or not you have to comply with said request.

#3 is changed a bit by the recent ruling in MA which said that running isn't necessarily a problem.

 

[grunt soldier]

Got a 100 percent. Recent crim and traffic law probably helped as I knew most of the cases lol

6 of 7
I thought since the drug house guy had been seen leaving the drug house, and the officer had been watching the house, he had RAS.
In hindsight though, there was no reason to suspect the guy of actual wrongdoing.
In my defense, the actual answer was NO, BUT...
so
6 1/2

It is one thing to get a snag while casting, it is another to run out the down riggers and start throwing dynamite in the water...
