In 2002, Sergeant Richardson conducted a traffic stop based on an anonymous tip about teenagers looking into cars. The tip was vague and lacked specific details. Richardson stopped a vehicle without sufficient reasonable suspicion, leading to a lawsuit alleging violation of Fourth Amendment rights.
