Federal judge grants injunction banning ‘Kansas Two-Step’ Highway Patrol tactic
- The Kansas Highway Patrol is no longer allowed to use the "Kansas Two-Step" tactic to detain out-of-state drivers and search their vehicles for drugs, as ruled by U.S. District Judge Kathryn H. Vratil.
- The tactic was found to violate drivers' constitutional rights against unreasonable searches, and a permanent injunction was granted to prevent its use by the patrol.
- The injunction also requires the patrol to implement cameras and audio in patrol cars, inform drivers of their right to refuse a search, and improve training and documentation.
