Holding that a traffic stop was constitutional despite the investigating officer's citation to the wrong statute because the conduct observed actually violated a different statute
The validity of the stop is governed by New Mexico Constitution Article II, Section 10, and the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which has been made applicable to state and local governments by the Fourteenth Amendment. See Jaramillo v. City of Albuquerque, 1998-NMCA-062, ΒΆ 5, 125 N.M. 194, 958 P.2d 1244. Both the state and federal constitutions forbid "unreasonable searches and seizures."
