Officers from the Coconut Creek Police Department observed the Defendant’s vehicle “suspiciously parked” at a Nature Center. The Officers then saw the Defendant run to his vehicle and start it. The Officer drove up to the vehicle and ordered the Defendant to shut the vehicle off, despite not having seen the Defendant do anything. The Defendant admitted to smoking marijuana and the officer found the substance on the back seat of the car. The firm filed a Motion to Suppress the Unlawful Seizure based on the officer ordering the Defendant to shut off the vehicle without suspicion that the defendant was involved in criminal activity. The State conceded the Motion and all charges were dropped by the State.
