Jan 01, 2018

OUTCOME: Dismissed

Client was pulled over by sheriff deputy on suspicion of DWI. Client's driving conduct did not amount to "reasonable suspicion" of criminal activity. At a Contested Implied Consent hearing the deputy a ... dmitted he pulled over the client without noticing poor driving conduct and that he based the stop on a "warrant hit". After intense questioning, the deputy admitted the warrant hit was likely not for the client after the personal and identifying information about the hit did not match the driver.
