Question

According to this excerpt from the Supreme Court case United States v.
Cooley (2021), what legal precedent was established for tribal sovereignty by this ruling?

Answer 1

The legal precedent established for tribal sovereignty by this ruling is that tribal police officers have the authority to detain and search non-Native Americans on public roads within a reservation if there is reasonable suspicion of a crime. This reaffirms the principle that tribal governments have the inherent authority to enforce their own laws and regulations within their territories.
