I. While waiting for a drug-sniffing dog during a traffic stop, may the police extend the stop by subjecting the driver and passengers to repetitive, back-to-back checks for outstanding warrants, and by interrogating the driver and the passengers about their activities and their backgrounds? Or does such delay violate the Fourth Amendment?
