People v. Chavez-Barragan

Summary

The court held that a traffic stop was supported by reasonable suspicion because the defendant’s semi-truck crossed the fog line twice under circumstances in which remaining within the lane was practicable. It interpreted the lane-maintenance statute as requiring a totality-of-the-circumstances inquiry rather than establishing a bright-line rule. The court reversed the suppression order and remanded for further proceedings, leaving the voluntariness of the defendant’s consent unresolved.
