Probable cause

Here’s an interesting case from the Fourth Circuit, courtesy of fourthamendment.com:

Defendant’s actions when seen in a stopped car did not amount to suspicious circumstances. The officer’s learning that defendant was under investigation for drug trafficking did not lessen his Fourth Amendment rights, and it added nothing to the reasonable suspicion calculus. United States v. Foster, 2011 U.S. App. LEXIS 3939 (4th Cir. March 2, 2011)[.]
