Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Kevin T. Lafky, of Lafky and Lafky, Salem, argued the cause, for petitioner on review. Elton T. Lafky filed the petition.

Timothy A. Sylwester, Asst. Atty. Gen., Salem, argued the cause, for respondent on review. With him on the brief, were Theodore R. Kulongoski, Atty. Gen., and Virginia L. Linder, Sol. Gen., Salem.

DURHAM, Justice.

The issue in this case is whether the Court of Appeals erred in holding that, under ORS 810.410(3)(b), a police officer may stop and detain the driver of a vehicle if the officer has a "reasonable basis" to believe that the driver committed a traffic infraction.
