Glen Murray, Defendant Below, Appellant v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff Below, Appellee

Summary

The court held that officers unlawfully continued detaining Murray after the traffic stop's objective justification had ended, because they lacked reasonable suspicion of criminal activity. It also held that the probation officer's suspicionless patdown and questioning violated Murray's Fourth Amendment rights and that the resulting evidence had to be suppressed. Justice Ridgely, dissenting, would have affirmed because the driver's voluntary consent and Murray's spontaneous admission independently justified the search.
