“When we review a trial court’s decision on a motion to suppress, the evidence is construed most favorably to uphold the findings and judgment of the trial court; the trial court’s findings on disputed facts and credibility are adopted unless they are clearly erroneous and will not be disturbed if there is any evidence to support them.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[T]he officer must possess more than a subjective, unparticularized suspicion or hunch, but rather a founded suspicion, some necessary basis from which the court can determine that the detention was not arbitrary or harassing.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“a police officer, even in the absence of probable cause, may stop persons and detain them briefly, when the officer has a particularized and objective basis for suspecting the persons are involved in criminal activity.”
