According to Law Bulletin 2020-01, Prolonging a Traffic Stop, in the case of State v. Angulo Chavez, a police officer stopped a vehicle for a civil speed violation. The officer issued the driver a warning for the speed violation and asked the driver if he would answer additional questions, the subject agreed. During the conversation the officer became suspicious of the driver. Eventually, the subject agreed to allow the officer to search his car and signed a consent-to-search form. The officer located several pounds of methamphetamine during the search. Please select the court’s ruling after an appeal:
The traffic stop was prolonged by the officer, who did not tell the driver of the vehicle they were free to leave. The officer did not permit the driver to leave without delay after the warning was issued, thus resulting in a prolongation of the traffic stop, a seizure under the Fourth Amendment and a violation of the subject’s Fourth Amendment rights. The court overruled the earlier decision and suppressed the evidence.
The traffic stop concluded, and the officer asked if the driver would answer questions, he agreed, thus resulting in a consensual encounter. The court held that the continuation of the encounter was consensual, reasonable, and was not a seizure under the Fourth Amendment. The resulting search of the car was also consensual and lawful.

Without attempting to obtain a warrant, an officer took custody of the medically drawn blood from the hospital. The subject appealed the later DUI conviction and moved to suppress the blood evidence. The court, upon review of the case, decided:
The blood evidence must not be suppressed, the warrantless seizure of the blood was justified due to the “Medical-draw exception” in A.R.S. 28 -1388(E).
The officer had probable cause to obtain the blood and the possible destruction of the blood provided exigent circumstances justifying the warrantless seizure.
The blood evidence must be suppressed because the officer did not obtain a warrant to seize Diaz’s blood sample, and there were no exigent circumstances justifying the warrantless seizure.
