Nebraska law differs from federal baseline in critical ways: constitutional carry (LB 77, 2023), NO Stand Your Ground in public, Rodriguez v. United States originated here on I-80, civil forfeiture without conviction (§28-431), cannabis fully illegal.
Nebraska has NO pedestrian stop-and-identify law — you are not required to give your name on foot. Constitutional carry (LB 77, 2023) means no permit needed for concealed carry for adults 21+. Castle Doctrine (§28-1409) protects you at home, but NO Stand Your Ground in public — duty to retreat applies outside the home. Cannabis is completely illegal. Civil forfeiture (§28-431) requires no conviction. Rodriguez v. United States (2015) originated on I-80 in Nebraska and limits how long police can extend a traffic stop.
