No. 97-1059.

702 So.2d 282 (1997)

STATE of Florida, Appellant, v. Colleen MANALASAY, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

December 10, 1997.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Denise M. Mitchell, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Ellen Griffin, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellee.


PER CURIAM.

The state appeals a motion to suppress a short cut straw, which an officer observed in a vehicle and seized, after pulling appellee over for an expired vehicle tag. Although short cut straws are often used in drug activity, they are not, in and of themselves, sufficient to constitute probable cause for a search. Anderson v. State, 532 So.2d 4 (Fla. 2d DCA 1988).
