Civil Rights Action Regarding Traffic Stop

In Liberal v. Estrada, No. 08-17360, an action for violations of plaintiff’s civil rights arising from a traffic stop and subsequent events, the court affirmed the district court’s order denying summary judgment based on qualified immunity to defendants where 1) it was not a reasonable mistake for defendant-officer to believe that windows that are rolled down and that cannot be viewed at all are in fact rolled up and tinted; and 2) the traffic stop was unlawful because it did not rest on a reasonable suspicion that a violation of law had occurred.
