1. ““[t]he trial judge found that the officers stopped the car not for speeding but for investigation, and to identify the occupants. He pointed out that no accurate speed measurement was made, and that there was merely an estimate of the speed on the part of Officer Poore; but the judge said, T have no doubt that these defendants were exceeding the speed limit.’ He concluded that the defendants were not stopped for speeding, and the officers could articulate no basis for reasonably suspecting drat the defendants were committing, had committed, or were about to commit a crime as required by the statute. Therefore, the court suppressed the evidence.” Guy, 242 Kan. at 842 .”

2. ““The dress and appearance [long hair, one defendant wore biker clothes and the other had tattoos on his arm] of the pair did not comport with the car [a new Cadillac] they were driving. He [officer] had heard there had been narcotics dealings at that motel. He read the window sticker and found that the car was owned by a Colorado rental agency. A telephone check with the agency disclosed that the name of the man who checked into the motel did not match the names of either of the men who had rented the car. Hindman thought it was odd that the defendants checked into the motel at midday.” 242 Kan. at 840-41 .”
