Police officers and deputies work in complex and ever-changing environments. The complexity of those environments can be further complicated by the law and the different court systems that can vary in its application. The New York Court of Appeals interprets the law under the New York Constitution much differently than the Supreme Court of the United States, and other federal courts, interpret the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution. Oftentimes, general interdiction training does not emphasize this difference, which can lead to not only confusion by officers but also to inappropriate actions being taken.
Join Lexipol as attorney and retired Chief of Police Mike Ranalli discusses the legal aspects of traffic stops, focusing specifically on the laws in New York State.
