Supreme Court limits use of anonymous tips in traffic stops
The Los Angeles Times argues police should act on anonymous tips about dangerous drivers but a recent California case lets stops proceed with minimal corroboration. The 2008 Mendocino County incident led to a 30 pound marijuana haul after a five mile chase and a scent of cannabis. Justice Thomas upheld the stop, citing total circumstances, while Scalia warned anonymous tips risk widespread searches. The piece urges stricter lower court standards for corroboration to avoid overbroad policing.
