STATUTE DETAIL IN THE APP
(NEW JERSEY SHOWN — STATE PACKS RENDER THE SAME)
The rules that are Alabama’s own.
Federal cases set the minimum. Alabama’s courts have their own answers — and those are the ones that control your stop, your search, your report.
State v. Abrams
Running a vehicle’s license-plate number in plain view through a law-enforcement database does not require reasonable suspicion and is not a search under the Fourth Amendment, because there is no reasonable expectation of privacy in a publicly displayed license plate.
263 So. 3d 736 (2018)FULL BRIEF IN THE AL PACK →
C.D.M. v. State
An anonymous tip that lacks indicia of reliability and predicts no future conduct cannot, by itself, supply reasonable suspicion for a stop and frisk. Corroborate the predictive details before you act on an anonymous tip.
CR-09-1337 (Ala. Crim. App. 2010)FULL BRIEF IN THE AL PACK →
Hankins v. State
Under the 2006 amendment to § 32-5A-191, only DUI convictions within the preceding five years count to enhance sentencing. When you document and charge a repeat DUI, check the dates against the five-year window — and verify the current statutory lookback.
989 So. 2d 610 (Ala. Crim. App. 2007)FULL BRIEF IN THE AL PACK →
FIELD GUIDES — STEP-BY-STEP FLOWCHARTS
The call, one decision at a time.
DV, juveniles, hospital holds, use of force, traffic — each guide walks the fork in the road with the Alabama law and procedure built in, the way an FTO would talk you through it.
Alabama paper plates, decoded.
White or blue tag?
White = county office (CAN run). Blue = dealer (generally CANNOT run). If white tag claims dealer issued it, suspicious.
Run white tags
White tags CAN be run like a regular plate.
Check DA number on blue tags
Format XX-XXXXX-YY. Search AL Dept of Revenue website to verify dealer exists.
The temp-tag scanner is free for verified law enforcement — with or without a subscription. SEE HOW THE SCANNER WORKS →
Federal cases that reach every Alabama stop.
Pennsylvania v. Mimms (1977)
Ordering the driver out on a lawful stop — what it covers, and what it doesn’t.
Arizona v. Gant (2009)
Once the arrestee is secured, the automatic car search is gone. The two narrow windows that remain.
Riley v. California (2014)
Seizing the phone is one question. Searching its data is another.
Cross the line, keep the reference.
Task force, bi-state agency, or a beat near the border — every state gets the same breakdown, and the FEDERAL KIT travels with you.
