On January 4, 2019, Officer Mayer initiated a traffic stop of a vehicle being
operated by Abbas for failing to signal a turn. Officer Mayer gave Abbas a
verbal warning and, thus, concluded the purpose of the stop. However, instead
of allowing Abbas to leave, Officer Mayer asked for permission to search
Abbas’s vehicle, which permission Abbas declined to give.
