State v. Wright
Court of Appeals of Georgia
1Opinion of the Court

App. 800 (437 SE2d 492), granted appellee’s motion to dismiss on the grounds the arresting officers had no particularized suspicion to justify the initial stop of appellee who was driving his motor vehicle; rather, the court concluded the initial stop was conducted “merely to make sure that no criminal violations had taken place.”
