Zachariah J. Marshall, Appellant (defendant Below) v. State of Indiana, Appellee (plaintiff Below).

Summary

The Indiana Supreme Court held that Officer Dolan had reasonable suspicion under the Fourth Amendment to stop Marshall for speeding, even though Dolan did not document the radar reading and later could not recall the precise speed. The court also held that the stop was reasonable under Article 1, Section 11 of the Indiana Constitution because the officer had substantial knowledge of speeding, the initial intrusion was limited, and traffic-safety enforcement supplied a legitimate law-enforcement need. The court therefore affirmed the denial of Marshall's motion to suppress.
