How later courts described this case
- holding that under a totality-of-the-circumstances review, the officer legitimately entertained a reasonable suspicion of criminal activity but noting that mere nervousness, standing alone, was not sufficient to constitute reasonable suspicion of criminal activity and grounds for detention
- noting that because as much as 80% of all currency in circulation contains drug residue, a dog alert "is of little value"
- holding officers must possess reasonable suspicion “at the time” of a seizure
- holding that mere nervousness, standing alone, does not constitute reasonable suspicion of criminal activity and grounds for detention
