“the presence of the lawfully owned firearm in the vehicle gave him the requisite probable cause to detain Soukaneh, search the interior of his car, and search his trunk”
This is not a “novel theory”, which attorneys are allowed to present. IMHO (as a licensed attorney for 39 years), this represents such an abysmal lack of understanding of the concept of probable cause that it may be grounds for revocation of the license of his attorney.
It didn’t even provide reasonable suspicion.
Just amazing that this could come from the 2nd circuit.
