U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 13-1732
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Dubuque
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Wollman, Circuit
Judge]
Criminal case - Criminal law. Taken in their totality, the facts observed
by the police officer - overly-cautious driving, time of night, evasive
maneuvers, and a rash of recent burglaries in the area - gave the officer
reasonable suspicion for an investigative stop; the public safety
exception to Miranda applied to the officer's questions regarding what he
might find in defendant's vehicle because those questions were reasonably
aimed at addressing the safety hazard posed by the manufacture of
methamphetamine.
