In a new case from the Court of Criminal Appeals, two Judges upheld a stop based on probable cause that a violation of 55-8-123(1) had occurred. One Judge dissented.
The stop occurred after the trooper saw the vehicle cross a lane line in a curve. The Defense argued there was a lack of reasonable suspicion for a DUI.
The dissenting Judge was persuaded that the DUI line of cases controlled the situation, even though the officer recorded and testified that the stop was based on the violation.
