Case Details
Supreme Judicial Court reversed the Appeals Court's decision, re-suppressing a firearm found after a traffic stop, ruling that police must articulate specific facts to support a speeding stop, not just a 'conclusory statement.'
Additional Notes
Case: Commonwealth v. Teixeira-Furtado. The SJC concluded that “the Commonwealth offered nothing that would have permitted the motion judge to evaluate the reasonableness of the officer’s conclusory statement that the speed was unreasonable.”
