People v. Chavez-Barragan

Summary

The court held that the officer had reasonable suspicion to stop Chavez-Barragan’s truck after observing it cross the fog line twice. It interpreted the lane-maintenance statute to require driving within a single lane as nearly as practicable, with compliance assessed under the totality of the circumstances rather than a bright-line rule. The suppression order was reversed and the case was remanded because the trial court had not decided whether Chavez-Barragan voluntarily consented to the subsequent search.
