Case #: 07 CR 5489
May 04, 2007OUTCOME: Motion to Quash Granted
My client was charged with driving on a revoked license as well as possession of a controlled substance after a traffic stop was effectuated. The police claim that my client's tinted windows were ... too dark and that's why he was pulled over. This all occurred at around 8:00am. We argued to the court that on this vehicle there was no tinting and asked the officer to prove up this point, which he could not. Court not only granted our motion to quash but told the officer that he thought this was a pretextual stop as my client was caucasian and he was driving through a predominantly african american neighborhood.
