Traffic stop
A
traffic stop
, commonly called
being pulled over
, is a temporary detention of a
driver
of a
vehicle
by
police
to investigate a possible
crime
or minor violation of law. In
constitutional law in the United States
, a traffic stop is considered to be a subset of the
Terry stop
; the standard set by the
United States Supreme Court
in
Terry v. Ohio
regarding temporary detentions requires only
reasonable suspicion
that a
crime
has occurred or is about to occur.
