February 26, 19921992 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 35

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the lower appellate court's judgment, holding that the traffic stop of the appellant was illegal because the officers lacked reasonable suspicion of criminal activity. Consequently, the plain view observation and the appellant's consent to search were invalid, requiring suppression of the cocaine and marijuana evidence.
