Glen Murray, Defendant Below, Appellant v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff Below, Appellee

Summary

The Court reversed the denial of Murray's motion to suppress, holding that the officers unlawfully continued detaining and questioning him after the traffic stop's objective justification had ended without reasonable suspicion. The Court also held that the probation officer could not conduct a suspicionless detention or search of Murray merely because he was on probation. Justice Ridgely, dissenting, would have affirmed because the driver voluntarily consented to the search during the lawful traffic stop and Murray spontaneously admitted ownership of the bag and its contents.
