Where there is more than one passenger in the car, it is not unreasonable for the police officer conducting a traffic stop to conduct an extended criminal history check on the occupants of the car for reasons of officer safety. The check was a negligibly burdensome precaution justified by officer safety concerns.
CONCURRENCE:
The record check was part of the stop itself, so no reasonable suspicion was required. Although required by precedent, reason to doubt that history checks improve officer safety. Racial profiling concerns.
