The Traffic Stop Trap
Police find fentanyl hidden in a car stereo after a routine stop. But was the search legal? The Fourth Amendment argument that could set the case free.
About This Episode
A routine traffic stop in Boston ends with police discovering a large quantity of fentanyl hidden inside a car stereo — and a drug trafficking charge carrying years of mandatory minimum time. But Attorney White focuses on what happened before the discovery: did police have the legal right to search? This episode examines the doctrine of consent, the limits of a traffic stop, and how a successful suppression motion can collapse a trafficking prosecution.
