Case Details
Appellate court overturned six drug offense convictions (possession of cocaine and controlled substance) due to an unlawful traffic stop. The Second DCA ruled that the defendant's 'weaving' did not create a reasonable safety concern, which is required for a 'failure to maintain a single lane' violation in Florida.
