Sotomayer was the lone (that's right-LONE) dissent: “One is left to wonder,” she wrote, “why an innocent citizen should be made to shoulder the burden of being seized whenever the law may be susceptible to an interpretative question.” In Sotomayor's view, “an officer’s mistake of law, no matter how reasonable, cannot support the individualized suspicion necessary to justify a seizure under the Fourth Amendment.”
In the War on Drugs and escalating police state-the citizen will lose. Go ahead-argue for this decision-I want to know who I have at my back in the Gulch
