Bannister v. State

SHEPARD, Chief Justice.

A police officer on patrol ran a computer check on the license plate of a car that crossed his view at an intersection, and learned that the owner's driving license was suspended. The computer check also provided a physical description of the owner, and the officer later testified that this description approximated the characteristics of the driver whom he saw pass his view. The trial court held that the facts available constituted reasonable suspicion to warrant an investigatory stop under the Fourth Amendment. We affirm.
