The defendant was stopped by police because the officer believed that the vehicle looked suspicious. The car was in an area that had recently had a number of burglaries. The vehicle was stopped in the middle of an apartment parking lot, not in a legal parking space. The officer approached and determined that the defendant was driving on a suspended license. Because this was his third offense within five years, the defendant was looking at possibly having his license revoked for a period of five years. The firm prepared his case and filed a motion to suppress the stop of his vehicle. The Judge granted the defense motion. The State dismissed the case with no negative consequences for the defendant.
