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.
