Lead

Drug Interdiction is the interruption and interception of drugs to prevent them from reaching their destination. This is a tactic that is often used by Law Enforcement Agencies. Drug Interdiction is often used by Law Enforcement in the form of traffic stops. Law Enforcement use pre-textual traffic stops in order to stop drivers. Pre-Textual Stops are traffic stops conducted by Law Enforcement for a traffic violation, but the purpose is for the officer to investigate an unrelated crime that the driver was not stopped for. "The Officer can learn a lot about a potential suspect from a traffic stop such as identifying the driver, engaging in conversation, and conducting a visual inspection of the vehicles interior." This is useful in drug interdiction because the officer essentially has the driver in a position where they are not allowed to leave, so the officer can use their skills in order to illicit information that may lead to an arrest.
