Every flagged citation to this case has been read, and none of them overrules, limits, or questions it. State v. Armenta remains good law on this review. All 39 flagged citations were read, and none shows adverse treatment of its ruling that a request for identification alone did not seize the suspects, but the officer's later retention of their money unlawfully detained them and tainted their consent to search.
Every treatment on this page is written from the citing opinion itself, with a verbatim quote, never copied from a commercial citator. A citation flagged by our screen but not shown here was read and found not to weaken this case.

39 later cases cite State v. Armenta; 39 of those citations sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read. Citations that did not sit near treatment language were not flagged and were not read one by one, so a court that weakened this case without using any of that language would not appear here.

No reviewed court has overruled or limited this case.

Every one of the 39 flagged citations was read, and each turned out to be something other than adverse treatment: a routine application, a party's argument the court rejected, or the case itself discussing older law. That reading is the finding this page exists to report.
