How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• concluding that trial court erred in denying motion to suppress where officer lacked reasonable, articulable suspicion to justify the stop
• concluding that officer did not have specific articulable facts sufficient to give rise to a reasonable suspicion of criminal activity based on defendant’s brief visit to a motel located in an area known for heavy drug activity
• holding that officer did not have facts sufficient to give rise to a reasonable suspicion of criminal activity based on the defendant’s presence in a high-crime area and his behavior which was consistent with a general pattern of illegal activity
• reversing denial of the suppression motion, where the evidence underlying the prosecution was obtained during a second-tier detention that lacked a particularized and objective basis to suspect the defendant of wrongdoing
• listing facts that could potentially have provided officer with reasonable articulable suspicion
• evidence suppressed where officer saw defendant engage in behavior consistent with buying drugs by briefly visiting a hotel located in an area known for heavy drug activity
