U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit

United States v. Marquis Player

August 27, 2026

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Player’s motion to suppress evidence obtained during a traffic stop. It held that the officer lawfully stopped Player after observing him roll through a stop sign, and that the firearm was properly seized under the plain-view doctrine because it was visibly unsecured and readily accessible in violation of Florida law. The court further held that those circumstances supplied probable cause for Player’s warrantless arrest.
