Abstract:

In Delaware v. Prouse, the United States Supreme Court held that a police officer may not stop a vehicle to check the motorist’s driver’s license, vehicle registration, or equipment, unless the situation follows certain conditions. This memorandum summarizes the facts and reasoning of the case and discusses the implications for North Carolina law.
