United States v. Huff

Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit

Decided November 4, 2015No. 12-5581Published

1Concurrence

BARRETT, District Judge.

While I concur that the district court did not err in denying the motion to suppress the statements obtained from the traffic stop, I write separately to address the issue of whether there was probable cause for the stop.

The Fourth Amendment guarantees “the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures.” U.S. Const. amend. IV. “An ordinary traffic stop by a police officer is a ‘seizure’ within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment.” United States v. Jackson, 682 F.3d 448, 453 (6th Cir.2012)…
