State v. Hopper

Court of Appeals of Georgia

1Opinion of the Court

Miller, Judge.

The State appeals from the trial court’s grant of Keith Hopper’s motion to suppress evidence seized by police following a traffic stop. We affirm because officers did not have a particularized and objective basis to suspect Hopper of wrongdoing.

“On reviewing a trial court’s ruling on a motion to suppress, evidence is construed most favorably to uphold the findings and judgment and the trial court’s findings on disputed facts and credibility must be accepted unless clearly erroneous.” (Citation, punctuation and footnote omitted.)
