1. “We will not disturb the trial court’s order on a motion to suppress if there is any evidence to support it, and we construe all evidence presented in favor of the trial court’s findings and judgment. McDaniel v. State, 263 Ga. App. 625, 626-627 (1) ( 588 SE2d 812 ) (2003). Where, as here, the evidence was undisputed at the suppression hearing and there is no question as to the credibility of the witnesses, our review of the trial court’s application of the law to the undisputed facts is de novo. Daniel v. State, 277 Ga. 840, 849 (5) ( 597 SE2d 116 ) (2004).”
