   U.S.C. Section 1012(b). 
  
161959P.pdf   04/13/2017  United States  v.  Eleuterio Murillo-Salgado
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-1959
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Riley and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. Law enforcement officer did 
   not unreasonably extend the traffic stop when defendant and his passenger 
   gave the officer inconsistent and contradictory information regarding 
   their travel and identities and the officer undertook normal investigative 
   steps to resolve the issues and obtain additional information; because the 
   traffic stop was not impermissibly extended or prolonged, defendant's 
   consent to search the truck was valid and defendant's continued detention 
   to search the truck was permissible, as was the ensuing search; search of 
   an air compressor was permissible under the automobile exception where the 
   totality of the circumstances - the odor and presence of fresh paint, as 
   well as jagged welds - and the officer's experience and training gave him 
   probable cause to believe the tank contained contraband; the district 
   court exceeded its authority when it imposed immediate and automatic 
   removal from the U.S. as a special condition of defendant's supervision; 
   this condition is modified to require defendant's surrender to immigration 
   authorities when he completes his sentence. Judge Kelly, dissenting.
