United States v. Omar Ramirez
Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
BIRCH, Circuit Judge:
Appellant Omar Ramirez challenges the district court’s denial of his motion to suppress evidence in his case. On appeal, Ramirez argues that he was unlawfully detained by the police in violation of the Fourth Amendment, and that therefore the evidence discovered as a result of that detention should have been suppressed. Because we find that Ramirez’s Terry 1 stop had become a consensual encounter at the time he agreed to a search of his vehicle, we conclude that suppression of the evidence was unwarranted. Accordingly, we AFFIRM the district court’s denial of his motion.
