Dover v. State

3 Citing cases

  1. Davis v. State

    331 Ga. App. 171 (Ga. Ct. App. 2015)   Cited 5 times
    Affirming denial of motion to suppress evidence seized during inventory search where proof of insurance presented by defendant showed that his insurance had expired and in officer’s call to insurance company, representative stated that the policy for that particular vehicle could not be located

    Under these circumstances, the officer's decision to prohibit Davis from driving his car was not improper. The next question, therefore, is whether the impoundment of the vehicle was proper. See Grizzle v. State, 310 Ga.App. 577, 579 –580(1), n. 18, 713 S.E.2d 701 (2011) (absent proof that motorcyle was insured, it “could not be lawfully driven by anyone”); Dover v. State, 307 Ga.App. 126, 128(1)(a), 704 S.E.2d 235 (2010) (“the vehicle was not insured, so it could not be driven”). We note that the State does not argue that police searched the car incident to Davis's arrest, and there was no evidence that Officer Choudhery placed Davis under arrest before he fled the scene.
