Sounds like the officer articulauted himself well and lo and behold, he was right.<br /><br />On your side of the argument though, there are too many officers who do stop and detain using RS whose articulable facts are much more suspect and flimsy than this one. <br /><br />Merry Christmas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-34518318768570870812010-12-23T07:04:44.452-06:002010-12-23T07:04:44.452-06:0011:58: It was B.W.

Please try to debate the message, not the messenger, especially when you don't actually know who the messenger is!<br /><br />And despite your explanation, I still don't get how it's reasonable suspicion that the guy didn't have room to change lanes and so he didn't.

Kennedy, one of the top DWI attorneys in the Houston area is nothing more than "hot air". He makes his living and nice one at that from getting drunks off the hook and back out onto our roadways. This ruling just makes his job a little harder and he doesn't like it. Getting an opinion on the CCA decision from him is like asking a Pimp if the prostitution laws are too tough, of course everyone knows what the Pimps answer is going to be. <br /><br />The Texas CCA was correct to uphold the trial courts ruling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-7810541825080734052010-12-22T21:52:37.954-06:002010-12-22T21:52:37.954-06:00RE: Matter of Time
