Task: Car Stop Based on Mistake of Law






          Heien v. North Carolina, 135 S.Ct. 530 (2014).





          • Where an officer stops a vehicle as the result of a reasonable

               mistake of the law, evidence seized during the course of the stop will

               not be suppressed under the exclusionary rule.


          • Reasonable suspicion can be based on a reasonable mistake of the

               law.
