Another Southern NM Stop Affirmed

U.S. v. Mendez, 2006 WL 1633539 (6/14/06)(unpub'd) - In finding reasonable suspicion to stop a motorist, the 10th notes that, lo and behold, practically every north-running highway in southern New Mexico has been characterized as a known smuggling route, e.g. Highways 80, 52, 26, 185, 85, 180.
