Odd Story, Different Name on Rental Agreement, Nervousness Equal Reasonable Suspicion

US v. Duenas, No. 08-3108, 5/21/09 Unpublished - Denial of motion to suppress evidence obtained after a routine traffic stop affirmed. After cop gave defendant warning ticket for speeding, he asked for consent to search. Defendant refused, but so what? Cop already had reasonable suspicion based on typical stuff - rental agreement in different name, odd story, extreme nervousness, etc.
