In re V.C.R.

Court of Appeals of North Carolina

Decided May 7, 2013No. COA12-1127Published

1ConcurrenceStephens, Judge

I concur with the majority opinion in result only. I write separately because I believe that the majority opinion’s resolution of Juvenile’s argument regarding the constitutionality of Bond’s second investigatory stop represents a misperception of the evidence before the juvenile court in this case and/or a significant departure from the well-established jurisprudence on investigatory stops.

“The right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures applies to seizures of the person, including brief investigatory stops.” In re J.L.B.M., 176 N.C. App. 613, 619, 627 S.E.2d 239, 243 (2006)…
