Supreme Court of Florida

State of Florida, Petitioner v. Anthony L. Hankerson, Respondent — Pariente, J., Dissenting

June 30, 201165 So. 3d 502

Summary

Justice Pariente, dissenting, would conclude that the officers had reasonable suspicion to conduct an investigatory stop but lacked probable cause to search Hankerson. She reasoned that the brief, consecutive exchanges, uncorroborated location information, and lack of prior knowledge concerning Hankerson did not satisfy the higher probable-cause threshold. Justice Perry joined the dissent.
