State v. Evans
Annotate this CaseLaw enforcement officers initiated a traffic stop that ultimately led to Defendant’s arrest for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia and aggravated driving under the influence. Defendant moved to suppress the evidence on the ground that the officers lacked reasonable suspicion to pull him over. The trial court denied the motion to suppress, and the court of appeals affirmed. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that reasonable suspicion under the Fourth Amendment does not require officers to testify about how their observations reduce or eliminate the possibility that the innocent motoring public will be subject to seizures and does not require trial courts to make specific findings on that issue.
