OLIVER v. STATE

No. 5D14-857.

157 So.3d 495 (2015)

Ernest Amos OLIVER, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.

February 13, 2015.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

James S. Purdy , Public Defender, and David S. Morgan , Assistant Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for Appellant.

Pamela Jo Bondi , Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Wesley Heidt , Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.


Ernest Oliver appeals the denial of his motion to suppress. Only one issue is presented for our review: Whether Oliver was "seized" for Fourth Amendment purposes prior to the search of his person. Finding that he was, we reverse.

Oliver was the passenger in a car that a police officer stopped for an inoperable tag light.
