Norris

MEMORANDUM *

Rayford Norris appeals the district court’s denial of his motion to suppress (1) evidence seized during a parole search and (2) statements he made at the police station following his arrest and waiver of Miranda rights. After the denial of his suppression motion, Norris entered a conditional guilty plea to being a felon in possession of ammunition, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922 (g)(1). We affirm the district court.

The district court’s finding that Norris’s car had a crack in the windshield, in violation of California Vehicle Code § 26710, is not clearly erroneous. Thus, we conclude that the officers had reasonable suspicion based on articulated facts that Norris was driving in violation of state law, justifying an investigatory traffic stop. United States v. Hensley, 469 U.S. 221, 226 , 105 S.Ct. 675 , 83 L.Ed.2d 604 (1985); Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1, 21 , 88 S.Ct. 1868 , 20 L.Ed.2d 889 (1968).

Given that officers knew that Norris was on parole and under investigation for possessing stolen property, including guns, the officers were justified in placing Norris in handcuffs during the stop. Alexander v. County of Los Angeles, 64 F.3d 1315, 1320 (9th Cir.1995)…
