Court of Appeals of Oregon·Decided April 6, 1983·No. CT 82-1392 and CT 82-1396; CA A26186·Published·Cited by 1 cases
Opinion
The trial judge’s ruling in this criminal case that a police officer’s request to see defendant’s driver’s license, after the officer had pulled in behind defendant’s apparently-disabled vehicle, was an impermissible “stop” of defendant is incorrect, as is the court’s order suppressing evidence based upon that conclusion. See State v. Kennedy, 290 Or 493, 497, 624 P2d 99 (1981).
The trial court order suppressing evidence is reversed,, and the case is remanded for trial.
