The ruling came as the result of a case brought against a couple who were pulled over by police because he just felt they were suspicious. They were suspicious, the officer said, because they were driving in what can only be described as an overly safe manner. In other words, they weren’t speeding, didn’t pass other vehicles and moved carefully over to the side to allow the officer to pass.
It didn’t matter, the judge ruled, that police eventually found several pounds of marijuana hidden in a spare tire in the trunk of their SUV. What mattered was why the officer stopped them in the first place. And in this case, since safe driving is not a crime, the officer had no reason to stop them.
