A federal judge has issued an injunction bringing the Kansas Highway Patrol under court oversight after finding that a technique used by troopers to detain drivers and sniff out drugs violated the Fourth Amendment rights of motorists.

U.S. District Judge Kathryn Vratil on Monday handed down an injunction that imposes a number of requirements on the Highway Patrol after concluding that the "Kansas two step" violated the constitutional rights of motorists.
