id="yui_3_16_0_1_1418769293205_2450">The U.S. Supreme Court
has ruled police officers can conduct illegal traffic stops
based on wrongful interpretations of the law.</strong> The
case involved a man who was pulled over in North Carolina for
having a broken tail light, even though a single broken tail
light is not a violation in North Carolina. Police searched
the man’s car and found cocaine, resulting in a
cocaine-trafficking conviction. In an 8-to-1 decision, the
Supreme Court upheld the conviction, saying the officer’s
mistake was "reasonable." In a lone dissent, Justice Sonia
Sotomayor wrote, "One wonders how a citizen seeking to be
law-abiding and to structure his or her behavior to avoid
these invasive, frightening, and humiliating encounters could
do so."</div>
