Block on Trump's Asylum Ban Upheld by Supreme Court
US v. Tinnie, 09-4082
US v. Tinnie, 09-4082, concerned a challenge to the district court's denial of a motion to suppress a gun and ammunition found in defendant's car during a traffic stop, in a conviction of defendant for possession of a firearm by a felon. In affirming, the court held that given everything that took place prior to the frisk, and the time and location of the stop, a reasonable officer could conclude that there was reasonable suspicion that defendant was armed and that a frisk was necessary to assure the officers' safety.
