Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Charles William Shaffer, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee
January 25, 19781978 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1018
Summary
The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas reversed the conviction for carrying a handgun because the trial court erred in admitting the weapon. The reversal was based on the finding that the officer's stop of the appellant's taxicab was not supported by reasonable suspicion and therefore violated the Fourth Amendment.
