ILLEGAL STOP MEANS DUI IS TOSSED!
The police claimed they received an anonymous report of a man and a woman having sex and doing drugs in a vehicle parked on a Chicago street. However, when the officers arrived, they did not observe any illegal activity. Nevertheless they stopped Mr. M. to investigate and later charged him with a DUI. Attorney Wallin argued to the Court that in order to make an investigatory stop based upon an informant’s tip, the officer must first make observations that corroborate their information. Without such evidence, the officer cannot make any further investigation. After the Court granted Mr. Wallin’s motion, the State dropped all charges.
