This article is interesting for *WHY* the police decided to search and
  interrogate this man.  Notice he had stopped to read a map (in a
  median), a minor traffic violation, but then . . .

   TOMS RIVER, N.J. (UPI) -- New Jersey state police say they
trapped a hired hitman when he pulled over illegally on a highway to
check a map as he sought his intended victim.
   Patrick Anthony Brown of Lakewood, Colo., was trying to decide
which exit to take when he attracted the attention of police.
   Brown was being held in the Ocean County Jail pending extradition
to Colorado, authorities said. He was arrested in the early morning
of Dec. 22 on the Garden State Parkway in Toms River, on weapons and
drug charges.
   Investigators said they learned of the alleged murder-for-hire
plot from information on the intended victim found in the suspect's
car, and from Brown's statements to police. New charges were added
this week.
   Brown has been charged with conspiracy to commit first-degree
murder and attempted murder. He allegedly had been hired by a
Colorado woman to kill her ex-husband, who was visiting his mother
in Toms River for Christmas.
   Troopers said they stopped to question Brown because he was
stopped illegally in the highway median. Troopers then spotted a
.45-caliber pistol on the floor of his car, and also found
camouflage clothing in the vehicle, authorities said.
   Brown's girlfriend, Melanie Kurian of Bell Air, Md., was also
arrested on weapons and drug charges, officials said. She was freed
after posting $5,000 bail.
   Deborah Decker of Lakewood, Colo., was arrested there and charged
with hiring Brown. The Jefferson County Sheriff's Department in
Golden said Decker had been charged with solicitation of
first-degree murder, conspiracy and attempted murder and was free on
$100,000 bond.
