June 5, 20022002 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 116
Summary
The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals reversed the Court of Appeals, holding that Officer Benson's stop of Corbin was not justified by the community caretaking exception because the officer's belief that the appellant needed assistance was not objectively reasonable. The case was remanded for a harm analysis under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 44.2, and the dissent and concurrence are noted.
