Glad that Wyoming state troopers profile California plates.
Maybe California criminals will think twice now before driving into Wyoming, because they aren't afraid to profile out of state plates.
He should have known better than to be traveling with his California plates in the middle of winter in Wyoming.
Interesting, I wonder if he traveled through Colorado and they could have cared. Interesting that he was taken into custody by multiple officers near the Colorado border in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
It is well known in Colorado for instance that Wyoming and Nebraska state troopers profile Colorado plates in many cases to keep the bad Democratic Colorado influences out of wholesome Republican Nebraska and Wyoming.
I think the fact that this is the least populated state (less than 600k people) makes it more feasible to even do things like random license plate checks. I would be very surprised if they didn't do it for all 49 other states.
I'm not glad that any trooper would do this. Having an out of state license plate is not enough of a reason to pull someone over. Anyone who feels otherwise is someone who feels alright with civil liberties being violated. Anyone who feels violating civil liberties is the best way to curb crime would feel more comfortable in a place like China or North Korea. Having an out of state license plate is not enough of a reason. It is not probable cause. If that was the case, every other car in the Atlanta metro area would get pulled over.

This is my opinion. I think the OP would love to see a situation where a right wing fascist government was in charge. Pulling someone over for having an out of state license plate is a stupid reason for pulling someone over. I can think of the Constitutional rights that have been violated.
1) Freedom of movement
2) Unreasonable search and seizure.
The fact that a criminal was caught does not make me feel any better. Having out of state plates isn't illegal. Traveling to another state is not illegal. Neither of those actions are suspicious. People travel by car throughout the USA all the time. Wyoming too. There is nothing suspicious about driving to or through another state. Now, if someone wants a system where you need a passport to travel to locations WITHIN the USA, said person would also feel comfortable with a dictatorship. South Africa during Apartheid did that.

The Riverside Cty Sheriff asked Wyoming to be on the lookout for the suspect’s car, presumably because they had reason to believe he was headed towards or in Wyoming.

OP is mistaken. There was no profiling. Riverside Cty, Ca. LE asked Wyoming to be on the lookout for the car.

If this was the case, then fine. Wyoming police were on the lookout for a specific car. Just the same, it angers me that there are individuals who want to see practices like pulling someone over for simply having different state plates or for simply traveling from a different state. I feel like said OP wants a quasi-dictatorship.
I'll admit, I had a knee-jerk reaction and didn't read the links either. One thing I do see is that the OP has an agenda: "We should do more profiling".

I just found this out from another post of yours. I can count on you to be a voice of reason. The OP had an agenda to push. The agenda is "we should have more profiling",etc.

...WYOMING – Wyoming Highway Patrol got lucky yesterday when a random check of a license plate turned up a suspected killer.
A Highway Patrol trooper on routine patrol Thursday ran a registration check on a vehicle. The registration returned showing the vehicle was connected to a multiple-murder case in Riverside, California.
The trooper called for backup before he made a move. Once support units arrived to assist, thee trooper conducted a traffic stop east of Cheyenne around the Burns exit on Interstate 80. The driver was taken into custody without incident.
