Court to Study Traffic
Stops
WASH INGTON - The Supreme Court agreed
to decide w hether police routinely can set up
traffic checkpoints and stop m otorists in
hopes o f catching people w ho sell or use
illegal drugs. At issue is the scope o f the
C onstitution’s Fourth A m endm ent and its
protection against unreasonable searches and

seizures. Police generally need a court warrant
or a reason to suspect som eone o f a crim e
before detaining them for several m inutes.
