The Delaware State bus stop by Liberty County was unconstitutional

Another poster pointed out the lane restriction is for trucks. The law specifically excludes buses. 40-6-52 - Trucks using multilane highways - "As used in this Code section, the term "truck" means any vehicle equipped with more than six wheels, except buses and motorcoaches." The pretextual stop was unconstitutional to begin with so running the probable cause on four legs around the bus was also unconsitutional. I think those students have quite a strong case - maybe they will own the county after this is done. Somebody needs to be asking the sheriff this question. That other bus they searched that day also has a case.

said the Sheriff's office promised a statement on Tuesday. That probably tells you something. Like, we are in a heap of trouble.

It also had tinted windows, so you can't really see who is inside the bus. I'm thinking someone at a rest stop called the cops and told them there was a group of "suspicious" people riding on a bus on northbound I-95.

My bet is the cops there knew they effed up in stopping the Delaware State bus, and made the second bus stop in an attempt to cover their doughnut eating arses.
