Ruling delays use of Santa Stops in traffic checks
The high court ruling clarifies that police may not stop drivers to offer gifts or cash for Santa Stop style outreach. In Monongalia County an officer cited a motorist for a revoked license and DUI after asking about a suspect in a domestic violence case. Officials say future stops would require probable cause and would focus on minor infractions with warning tickets, preserving holiday spirit while respecting the Fourth Amendment.
