Under current case law, the police are permitted wide latitude in conducting traffic stops. The police may stop a car based on the belief that a crime has been committed, which includes any traffic violation (Whren v. United States, 517 U.S. 806 [1996]). In addition, once a person has been stopped, the officer may order him or her to stand outside the vehicle without any justification (Maryland v. Wilson, 519 U.S. 408 [1997]). The police may also engage in searches with consent (Ohio v. Robinette, 519 U.S. 33 [1996]), seize items that are in plain view (Horton v. California, 496 U.S. 128 [1990]), frisk the driver and/or search the passenger compartment of the vehicle out of concerns for safety (Michigan v. Long, 463 U.S. 1032 [1983]), and search the entire car if probable cause to arrest and/or search is developed (Belton, 453 U.S. 454). Finally, police are not required to provide the Miranda warnings when asking questions pursuant to a routine vehicle stop (Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436 [1966]).
