In IJ’s unconstitutional traffic stop case in Texas, the officer said he wanted to search our client’s truck as he was acting suspicious.
But our client was calm and forthright throughout the entire interaction! So, what will an officer label “suspicious”?
A shocking amount:
• It’s suspicious if you act too nervous. 612 F.3d 341.
• It’s suspicious if you act too calm. 551 F.2d 991.
• It’s suspicious if you make too much eye contact. 622 F.2d 1218.
• It’s suspicious if you make too little eye contact. 799 F.2d 704.
