Question 21

C) Ruled against the defendant, holding that the Court has never established the length of detention permissible under a Terry stop and that Montoya de Hernandez's 24 hour detention was reasonable under the circumstances
D) Ruled in favor of the defendant, affirming their position in Place, that the government agents' failure to act in a reasonable and diligent manner caused an unnecessary delay and the 24-hour detention made the seizure unreasonable
