1. “"[The police] crossed the bounds of a protective patdown for weapons allowed under Terry . We find it significant that [the officer] did not pat down the outer part of the appellant's boots for weapons, rather, he pulled up his pants leg and looked inside the appellant's boots. Officer Hargrove's conduct amounted to a warrantless search not authorized by Terry . . . . [W]e must hold that this search was more than was necessary for the protection of the officers and those nearby. The appellant's motion to suppress the evidence of the cocaine and marijuana discovered by the unlawful search should have been granted."”
