Ramsey v. State

How courts have described this case

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

• reviewing trial court’s denial of defendant’s motion to suppress evidence of marijuana discovered during pat-down where trial court granted defendant certificate of immediate review and defendant filed application for interlocutory review
• “A Terry pat-down, unlike a full search, is conducted for the purpose of ensuring the safety of the officer and of others nearby, not to obtain evidence for use at trial.” (punctuation omitted)
• officer’s testimony that he had worked at the sheriffs department for over four years and had previously encountered individuals in possession of narcotics was enough to justify trial court’s conclusion that officer was able to smell burning marijuana
