No. 2D06-557.

980 So.2d 521 (2007)

Chauncey CRAWFORD, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

November 28, 2007.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, and Alisa M. Smith, Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellant.

Bill McCollum, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Katherine Coombs Cline, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellee.


CASANUEVA, Judge.

In this appeal from his conviction for possession of cocaine, Chauncey Crawford challenges the denial of his dispositive motion to suppress crack cocaine improperly seized after he consented to a patdown during a traffic stop. Because we agree that the seizure was unlawful under the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution and Article 1, section 12, of the Florida Constitution, we reverse his conviction for the possession of cocaine.
