The court ultimately found that Tae-Ahn Lea's Fourth Amendment rights were violated, and the city eventually settled the lawsuit for $375,000.<br>But here's the question I want to hear YOUR opinion on:<br>Did the officers have enough reasonable suspicion to frisk and search Lea, or did they turn a simple traffic violation into an unconstitutional search?<br>And specifically, do you think someone's nervousness during a police encounter should ever be enough to justify a search?<br>👇 Make your case in the comments. I'd love to hear both sides.

Just firing them is NOT enough , they need to take his papers so he can't be a cop.

Watching an 18-year-old trembling on the phone to his mom during a traffic stop for an improper turn is truly gut-wrenching. His fear was twisted into "suspicious behavior" to force him out and perform an illegal search.
