Question Presented (from Petition)
In Whren v. United States, 517 U.S. 806 (1996), this Court held that for purposes of the Fourth Amendment, a police officer's subjective motivation for conducting a traffic stop is irrelevant as long as there was an objectively reasonable basis for doing so. Should this holding be overruled in cases where a traffic stop is the result of a targeted criminal interdiction operation, specifically aimed at ferreting out crime in high crime neighborhoods?
