Howell v. State

Howell v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided February 6, 1991 · Glickstein, Hersey, Stone
573 So. 2d 452; 1991 Fla. App. LEXIS 847; 1991 WL 11655 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Howell v. State

Dissenting Opinion

STONE, Judge,

dissenting.

In my judgment, the state failed to meet its burden to demonstrate why appellant’s vehicle was stopped by the police. Therefore, I would reverse the order denying appellant’s motion to suppress. It cannot be determined from this record that the stop was valid, notwithstanding the subsequent discovery of an improper tag display that might have served as a basis for a valid stop.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

AFFIRMED.

HERSEY, C.J., and GLICKSTEIN, J., concur. STONE, J., dissents with opinion.
