State of Arizona v. Asalia Guadalupe Alvarez-Soto

Summary

The court held that the trooper had reasonable suspicion to stop Defendant because her speed, lane position, and being passed on the right provided an objectively reasonable basis to suspect a traffic violation, even if the trooper reasonably misunderstood the statute. It affirmed the denial of suppression and held that video evidence remains subject to the ordinary deferential appellate framework rather than independent de novo review. The court vacated the court of appeals’ opinion and remanded for consideration of whether the stop was unlawfully extended.
