context: Where, as here, a driver raises no issue concerning the scope or duration of a search to which he consented, only the time period between the initial stop and the driver's consent is relevant to our review of the reasonableness of the duration of the traffic stop. Under these circumstances, a period of detention lasting 8 to 10 minutes was not unreasonable.

citation_a.parenthetical: observing that "[w]here at its inception a traffic stop is a valid one for a violation of the law, we doubt that a resultant seizure of no more than seventeen minutes can ever be unconstitutional on account of its duration: the detention is too short."
citation_a.sentence: See Purcell, 236 F.3d at 1277-79 (concluding that 14-minute period between the initial traffic stop and the driver’s consent to the search of his car was not unreasonable, where the officer was waiting for the results from a computer background check and had not given the citation to the driver when the driver consented to the search of his vehicle); cf. Hernandez, 418 F.3d at 1212 n. 7 (observing that “[w]here at its inception a traffic stop is a valid one for a violation of the law, we doubt that a resultant seizure of no more than seventeen minutes can ever be unconstitutional on account of its duration: the detention is too short.”).
