Defendant was convicted of cannabis trafficking. Court did not err in denying Defendant's motion suppress evidence gathered following a traffic stop which lasted just over 7 minutes, from the time Defendant's rental vehicle and the squad car were fully stopped to the time that the police dog alerted on the vehicle. Officer acted diligently in fulfilling the purpose of the stop, performing necessary inquiries and tasks, during those 7 minutes. Traffic stop was not unreasonably prolonged. (SCHMIDT, concurring; McDADE, dissenting.)
