Bruce Wayne Corbin, Appellant v. the State of Texas

Summary

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals reversed the Court of Appeals, holding that Officer Benson's traffic stop was not justified by the community caretaking exception because his belief that the appellant needed assistance was not objectively reasonable. The Court remanded for a harm analysis under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 44.2. A concurring opinion agreed with the result but disagreed with the majority's reasoning, while a dissent argued the stop was objectively reasonable and the motion to suppress should have been denied.
