The defendant was driving on the highway weaving in and out of traffic. The defendant would change lanes without signaling and speed up in between cars whenever there was an opening. After being stopped for improperly changing lanes the officer found that the defendant’s license was suspended for being a habitual traffic offender. The defendant was eventually charged by the State Attorney’s office for driving on a suspended license as a habitual traffic offender. The State Attorney’s office made a plea offer of 30 days in the Palm Beach County Jail to resolve the case. Our firm filed a motion to suppress arguing that the defendant was stopped illegally and his fourth amendment rights were therefore violated. The State agreed and dismissed the charges.
