suspicion isn't enough to actually detain tho (pull some one over in this case)

the aclu post points out that the pretextual stop is the actual problem here. all that suspiciousness wouldnt matter to this woman if she hadnt been detained. the fbi dude could have been suspicious as hell. could have decided to follow her around or like done some other actual investigation to get actual evidence that would amount to probable cause and enable a detainment.

cops dont have a right to stop you so they can go fishing.

the article doesn't seem to mention what actual authority an fbi agent would have to enforce a local traffic law about "staying in the left lane".

it does seem like this was a pretty clear rights violation and i hope the aclu fights on her behalf.
