   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  09-1010
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Colloton, Circuit Judge, and
   Piersol, District Judge]
   Criminal case - Criminal law. Excessive window tint on defendant's
   vehicle, a violation of Iowa law, provided probable cause for a traffic
   stop; officers did not exceed the permissible scope of the stop as the stop
   was reasonable in length; despite defendant's limited English-speaking
   abilities, the police reasonably believed defendant understood their
   questions and was agreeing to a search, and his consent to the search was
   valid, and the evidence found during the search was admissible.
