All good points. Unfortunately, this probably means they’ll stick to doing the unreasonable and illegal stops on people they think won’t be able to afford to bring lawsuits.
Also, questions of ‘is this actually legal?’ have a fine way of becoming moot when the it’s cops doing the lawbreaking and who polices the police, right? Especially in states with long history of good-old-boys justice networks
You’re correct, going to see a lot more old Civics and Malibus stopped for this, won’t often see a new Lexus or Acura being pulled over for a womb check.
Interesting point, in America the poor and minorities are always treated different. I think any lawyer who wanted to put together a big lawsuit could probably work probono for some but that’d be no guarantee.
