How can I argue that the search exceeded the scope of the stop?
To argue that the search exceeded the scope of the stop, consider the following points based on Indiana law:
- Duration of the Stop: The search should not prolong the stop beyond the time needed to handle the matter.
- Reasonable Suspicion: The search must be justified by a reasonable suspicion of additional criminal activity.
- Consent: If you did not consent to the search, this might limit its scope.
- Purpose of Stop: The search should relate directly to the reason for the initial stop (e.g., traffic violation).

What does it mean by "the search should relate directly to the reason for the initial stop?
The phrase "the search should relate directly to the reason for the initial stop" means that police officers cannot extend a traffic stop or conduct a search beyond what is necessary to address the reason for the stop itself. For example:
- Traffic Violation: If you were stopped for a traffic violation, the search should not extend beyond addressing that violation, unless there is additional reasonable suspicion.
- Scope: The search should not involve areas or items unrelated to the initial reason for the stop unless new grounds arise.

State v. Miller, * N.E.2d * (Ind. Ct. App. *) is directly relevant to your situation. The case emphasizes the necessity for police to have reasonable suspicion to justify a stop and that any search should not exceed the scope of the initial stop. This means:

- Using this case, you can argue that the search in your situation exceeded the permissible scope if it went beyond addressing the initial reason for the stop without additional reasonable suspicion.
