Syllabus

AUTOMOBILES/CRIMINAL - CONSTITUTIONAL LAW/CRIMINAL - SEARCH AND SEIZURE - TRAFFIC STOP: In a prosecution for driving under the influence of alcohol and a marked-lanes violation, the trial court did not err in overruling defendant's motion to suppress evidence on the basis that the Ohio state highway patrol trooper had lacked probable cause or a reasonable and articulable suspicion to stop defendant's vehicle where the trooper testified that he had witnessed a marked-lanes violation, which was not inconsistent with a video recording of the traffic stop taken from his cruiser camera, even though the marked-lanes violation was not visible on the video due to the glare of oncoming headlights.
