Summary

The Court held that a city police officer may not stop a driver for a traffic violation when the officer is outside his city’s jurisdiction, affirming the trial court’s suppression of the evidence. Justice Holcomb dissented, arguing that the stop was permissible under Terry and Article 14.03(d).
