United States Seventh Circuit
US v. Tinnie, 09-4082
In a conviction of defendant for possession of a firearm by a felon, district court's denial of a motion to suppress a gun and ammunition found in defendant's car during a traffic stop is affirmed, as given everything that took place prior to the frisk, and the time and location of the stop, a reasonable officer could conclude that there was reasonable suspicion that defendant was armed and that a frisk was necessary to assure the officers' safety.
