Can you stop a motor vehicle for obstruction of view?
The answer is not quite that simple. In this video, Dennis Benigno goes over State of New Jersey v. Brian Thomas Barrow (2009). The case goes over a vehicle stop initiated because the occupant of the vehicle had a pair of small boxing gloves and a small Italian flag hanging from the rear-view mirror. The court held that the Trooper had enough reasonable suspicion to stop the vehicle. However, the court looked at other cases where the officer stopped a car solely because they had a Christmas tree air freshener and found that this is not enough RAS to stop a motor vehicle. If you stop a vehicle for Obstruction of View, the object must be bigger than a Christmas tree air freshener.
