Maryland decisions and the U.S. Supreme Court cases that decide your stops, in plain English with the citation.
U.S. Supreme Court decisions set the minimum for every stop, search and arrest. Maryland’s legislature and courts can add stricter rules, and the answer on the street depends on both. The Maryland pack keeps the state’s own statutes and decisions next to the federal cases, and our blog breaks down both, state by state.
Maryland Supreme Court · 2017
When officers watch apparent crimes by a group, here open-container drinking and a thrown bottle, they may investigate, and a member's flight as they approach is weighed in the totality and justified stopping him. Alternatively, finding a valid, pre-existing arrest warrant can attenuate the taint of a questionable stop.

Find the opinion for Sizer v. StateCourt of Appeals of Maryland · 1990
Plain view lets you SEIZE an item only if its criminal nature is IMMEDIATELY APPARENT — you have probable cause the moment you see it, without further examination. You may glance into a bag a suspect voluntarily opens, but you may NOT reach in and pick up, remove, or manipulate an item to figure out whether it's contraband. That physical handling is a separate, unreasonable seizure (Arizona v. Hicks).
