STATUTE DETAIL IN THE APP
(NEW JERSEY SHOWN — STATE PACKS RENDER THE SAME)
The rules that are Kentucky’s own.
Federal cases set the minimum. Kentucky’s courts have their own answers — and those are the ones that control your stop, your search, your report.
McCloud v. Commonwealth
You can always search the arrestee’s person and grabbing area; you can search the car incident to arrest only if he can still reach it, or the arrest offense makes evidence in the car likely (Gant).
286 S.W.3d 780READ THE OPINION →
Commonwealth v. Bucalo
A traffic stop lasts only as long as needed for its mission. To hold the driver longer you need reasonable, articulable suspicion of other crime built from facts learned during the stop — and you must work it diligently. An exterior dog sniff during a lawful stop does not itself trigger the Fourth Amendment.
422 S.W.3d 253READ THE OPINION →
Mills v. Commonwealth
A clear, voluntary ‘yes’ is a lawful warrantless search — but the Commonwealth carries the burden to prove the consent was voluntary by a preponderance, judged on the totality of the circumstances. Capture the exchange.

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 Kentucky law and procedure built in, the way an FTO would talk you through it.

Federal cases that reach every Kentucky 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.
