#PoliceThreatenPublicSafety/#PoliceThePolice United States v. Martinez-Fuerte CHECKPOINT REFUSAL bit.ly/13YWcVr We have held that checkpoint searches are constitutional only if justified by consent or probable cause to search (though the court did hold that the probable cause bar was low for permanent checkpoints with limited impact on motorists). The Court also held, our holding today is limited to the type of stops described in this opinion. -[A]ny further detention...must be based on consent or probable cause. Our prior cases have limited significantly the reach of this congressional authorization, requiring probable cause for any vehicle search in the interior and reasonable suspicion for inquiry stops by roving patrols [as opposed to permanent checkpoints]. 428 U.S. 543, 567 (1976). bit.ly/14kC3cY
