traffic stops
Definition
- Traffic stops have become a valuable tool not only for enforcing traffic laws but also for investigating drugs and other illegal activities; random stops can, however, be deemed unreasonable under the Fourth Amendment. More than 40 percent of citizen-police encounters occur in the context of a traffic stop. [Source: Encyclopedia of the Fourth Amendment; Traffic Stops]
