Airplane was subject of a stop on reasonable suspicion

By John Wesley Hall, Jr.

Airplane stop at the Kent State University airport was justified by reasonble supported by reasonable suspicion of either drug or alien smuggling. It was more than a "ramp check" when six police cars with sirens blocked its path. It was, however, with reasonable suspicion, and then a drug dog was brought in. United States v. Gonzales, 2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 67073 (N.D. Ohio August 21, 2008).* Search of defendant's car under a search warrant was not justified, and there was no exception to the warrant requirement permitting the search of the car. United States v. Pointer, 2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 67144 (N.D. Okla.September 3, 2008).*
