The State of Texas v. Matthew Wayne Kurtz, Appellee

Summary

The Court held that a city police officer may not arrest or stop a driver for a traffic violation when the officer is outside his city jurisdiction, and therefore the evidence obtained from such a stop must be suppressed; the Court affirmed the lower courts' rulings. Justice Holcomb dissented, arguing that the officer could make an investigative detention based on reasonable suspicion of DWI.
