J.S. v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided November 23, 1994

District Court of Appeal of Florida · decided 1994-11-23

Relies on Terry v. Ohio

Decided 1994-11-23

PER CURIAM.

¶1J.S., a juvenile, appeals from the final order adjudicating him delinquent. We reverse.

¶2The juvenile contends that the trial court improperly denied his motion to suppress evidence where the evidence seized was the product of an illegal stop and frisk. We agree.

¶3We find that the record does not contain sufficient specific and articulable facts that, taken together with rational inferences from those facts, reasonably justify the stop. Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1, 88 S.Ct. 1868, 20 L.Ed.2d 889 (1968). Therefore, the juvenile’s motion to suppress evidence should have been granted below.

¶4Accordingly, we reverse.
