Love v. State - 6th COA
It was reasonable to detain the defendant for a total of 45 minutes after
the initial traffic stop while waiting for a drug dog to arrive to
search the defendant's car. The initial investigative detention was reasonable because the officer
had acquired articulable facts that, when combined with rational
inferences from those facts, led him to reasonably believe that the
defendant was actually engaged in criminal activity. Also, the
20-minute detention after the defendant denied consent to search his
vehicle was reasonable because the officer diligently pursued a means
of investigation that was likely to quickly dispel or confirm his
suspicions by immediately attempting to locate a drug dog.
