  • subsequent consensual search was valid where the police stopped defendant for speeding even though primary motivation of police in stopping defendant's vehicle was to investigate drug activity
  • officer’s search of vehicle for weapons during investigatory stop was based on reasonable concern for safety where defendant made furtive movements, hesitated at officer’s commands to exit vehicle, and was wearing empty shoulder holster
  • “When a vehicle has been properly stopped for investigative purposes, if the officer reasonably believes that he or others may be in danger, he may conduct a limited search of the automobile’s interior for weapons without first obtaining a search warrant.”
