United States v. Mayville - Triple I checks during traffic stops after Rodriguez

The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals published a decision in April in a traffic stop case regarding Triple I checks and the extension of the scope of the stop. 

Defendant in the case stated that under Rodriguez, running the Triple I through dispatch unconstitutionally extended the scope of the stop. 

This is a Utah case based upon a stop by UHP, record checks, and a K9 sniff while waiting for reports to come back from dispatch. There is some very helpful language in the opinion analyzing what is allowed by officers after Rodriguez.
