A New Twist on Traffic Stops

There are a jazillion Fourth Amendment cases involving automobile traffic stops that begin with the stop and end with a search of the car and the discovery of drugs inside. But how many cases are there that involve a traffic stop of a guy riding a bicycle that leads to a search of the bike and discovery of drugs inside the bike? Today’s decision by the Fourth Circuit in United States v. Currence is the first one I have read. With gas prices up, maybe we’ll be seeing more of these.

Thanks to Decision of the Day for the link.
