Opinion

No. 4D00-4242

Opinion filed January 16, 2002

Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, Broward County; Sheldon Shapiro, Judge; L.T. Case No. 99-21868 CF10A.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Susan Odzer Hugentugler, Assistant Attorney General, Fort Lauderdale, for appellant.

Michael A. Gottlieb of Michael A. Gottlieb, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for appellee.


We affirm the order granting appellee's motion to suppress. The court concluded, and we agree, that the police officer did not have probable cause to believe that appellee was committing a violation of the traffic laws. See Holland v. State, 696 So.2d 757, 759 (Fla. 1997) (probable cause that a traffic violation has occurred makes stop reasonable).

WARNER, FARMER and GROSS, JJ., concur.
