State v. Klein
Is it still good law? What later courts have actually done to this case.

More on how this was screened
Other opinions followed its holding that late-night presence on private property in an area with crime problems, without more, did not supply reasonable suspicion for an investigative stop. The nearby overruling language concerned the history of other authorities or the disposition of litigants' assignments of error, and the lone statutory-supersession phrase concerned another rule.
788 later cases cite State v. Klein; 91 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.
