1. “Defendant's primary argument seems to be that anything that could be termed an `investigation' unrelated to the offense for which defendant was stopped is unlawful under Carter/Dawson. [3] Although we used the word `investigation' in that opinion, we are not willing to extend Carter/Dawson to prohibit the officer's actions here. We agree with the state that `* * * the holding of that case does not require a police officer to confine himself to the bare minimum of activities necessary to issue a traffic citation.' Therefore the evidence was improperly suppressed.”

2. “"In Carter/Dawson, the police stopped a car for speeding. After examining the licenses of the car's occupants and running a `records check' on the car, the officer asked questions about what was in the car, asked permission to look in and doing so without permission saw marijuana and related paraphernalia."”
