State v. Ferguson, III

Syllabus

In this criminal appeal, pursuant to Article I, Section 10 of the South Carolina Constitution, the trial court suppressed evidence of methamphetamine production that officers found inside an apartment occupied by Sylvester Ferguson. The State of South Carolina argues the trial court erred in (1) finding officers needed a reasonable suspicion of criminal activity before approaching the apartment to conduct a \knock-and-talk\ and (2) ruling the officers did not have a reasonable suspicion to approach the apartment.
