Kansas illegally searched out of state drivers. Pressing the question… why would you ever want to go to Kansas.
… quick article highlight, it turns out most drivers targeted were just passing through to visit states without a police force trained to violate the constitution
But the ACLU helped fight the case all the way to the US Federal District Court on behalf of many motorists who doubtlessly never wanted to go back to the state again, even if to protest their rights in court
Damn. I had this happen to me in Wyoming.
They said the stop was officially over but that they would like to ask some additional questions, then started accusing us of smuggling drugs.

G’morning, Your title might not match the title of the article you linked! Could you please double check, and edit your post title if it indeed does not match? article title: “‘The KHP waged war’: Federal judge orders end of Kansas trooper ‘two-step’ maneuver” (Similairity: ~26%).
FLIP FLOP this action was performed semi-automatically by a bot (:
If any cop asks you if you’re doing something illegal… immediately ask for a lawyer. You’re not obligated to answer any questions or give them any information at all. this obligates them to either cease questioning you and let you go, or arrest you while they fetch a lawyer. they’re not going to do that over a traffic stop where they have nothing else.
Further, if they continue pressing or asking questions, or anything they learn (or “Learn”) from that questioning is tainted and inadmissible; and there’s a solid argument for “they didn’t have probable cause before asking questions, I asked for a lawyer and they said that gave them probable cause” will invalidate anything turned up from a search.
Some folks had to go through to reach colorado. Luckily they have illinios now.
