Opinions

PER CURIAM.

While the lower court applied the wrong standard of law to justify a stop of a motor vehicle — probable cause, rather than reasonable suspicion — we find, under the “tipsy coachman” doctrine, that the trial court reached the proper result and deny the petition for writ of certiorari. See Robertson v. State, 829 So.2d 901, 906-07 (Fla.2002).

PETITION DENIED.

EVANDER and COHEN, JJ., concur. BERGER, J., dissents with opinion.
