Curran seeks Court of Appeals review of passenger stop rule
Maryland Attorney General J Joseph Curran Jr urged the Court of Appeals to reconsider a ruling that barred police from ordering passengers to stay in a stopped vehicle during traffic stops. He cited safety cases and noted support from police associations while outlining the danger in allowing drivers to flee and passengers to walk away. The effort aims to avoid a Supreme Court appeal and asks for a decision within a month.
