Case Synopsis
The Court determined (1) an investigative stop under NRS 171.123 is transformed into an illegal seizure in violation of the Fourth Amendment when an officer retains a pedestrian’s identification after the suspicion for the original encounter is cured and there is no longer reasonable suspicion to detain the pedestrian; (2) without reasonable suspicion, the discovery of an arrest warrant cannot purge the taint from an illegal seizure.
