Supreme Court of Delaware

Campbell v. State

April 1, 2019

Summary

The Court affirmed the denial of Campbell's motion to suppress and his resulting convictions. It held that a traffic stop is justified when an officer has reasonable articulable suspicion that the driver committed a crime or traffic violation, regardless of whether the officer observed the violation directly or merely suspected it. The Court also concluded that the circumstances, including the officer's experience, familiarity with the area, and speed estimate, supported the stop.
