Case law digest

The cases that decide traffic stop motions, each in three parts: what happened, what the court held, and what it means at the window. Illinois Supreme Court cases are marked with a red edge. Search by name, topic, or keyword.

Summaries are not opinions. Before you testify about a case or build a stop around it, read the actual opinion at illinoiscourts.gov or supremecourt.gov, and check whether anything newer has changed it. Cannabis law in particular has moved every year.
