Supreme Court of Florida

State of Florida, Petitioner v. Kerrick Van Teamer, Respondent — Canady, J., Dissenting

July 3, 201439 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 478

Summary

The dissent would have upheld the traffic stop because the discrepancy between the vehicle's actual color and the color listed in registration information provided an objective basis to suspect an illegally transferred license tag. It concluded that this single objective circumstance was more than an unsupported hunch and satisfied the Fourth Amendment's reasonable-suspicion requirement. Justice Canady would have quashed the First District's decision and left the conviction and sentence undisturbed.
