No. I do not think it is. Detained without probable causeā¦ (right?)
in the state of trumpenstein anything any cop does is legal so donāt be a loser and piss them offā¦ really is that so hard to understand?
I got 6/7. Wrong about the āstep out of the car sirā before any suspicion.
Itās worth going through the quiz. Spoiler: U.S. law is super pedantic and all these cases rely on judgement calls from varying SCOTUS lineups.
The one Mark quoted was ruled illegal. But would have been legal if it hadnāt involved a search of the vehicle. My guess rate was less than 50% and Iām familiar with a number of the underlying cases. 
Can I have your phone number in case Iām arrested? I doubt most lawyers could score as well.
6/7 here, too. Mine was the one with the person running away. Guess I need to brush up on the definition of āprobable causeā.
Trick question, all stops are ālegalā.
Cites should provide a second prosecutor whose only role is to protect citizens from illegal actions of the police, as this is usually quite difficult and conflict of interesty.
Follow up quiz, which traffic stop is free of risk of murder for a POC who challenges whether the traffic stop is legal?
Easy stuff! Probable cause is the cop sees you and you are a suspect for whatever happens to wander through his mind at the time. See. That aināt hard is it?
Based on my results, I find that the scariest thing about US law is that ignorance of it is no excuse. 
Well, itās true after Utah vs. Streiff the distinction may as well be meaningless, we can hope for a less shitty SCOTUS in 2017. As long as we try to take back the house and senate and donāt elect Trump.
On that end, it pretty much doesnāt matter. If the cops want to stop you, theyāre going to stop you. And almost entirely without consequence.
I found that quiz. Youāre right. Interesting cases, there. I thought that scenario 5 (the anonymous tip) was probably the most interesting of all.
