South Central Judicial District, Burleigh County
James S. Hill
2019 ND 84924 N.W.2d 434
Oral Argument
10/30/2018
Highlight
A district court’s finding that the facts support a reasonable and articulable suspicion is fully reviewable on appeal.
Merely observing a driver tapping the illuminated screen of his cell phone for two seconds does not create reasonable and articulable suspicion that a violation of N.D.C.C. 39-08-23 has occurred.
It is not reasonable to conclude an officer made a reasonable mistake of fact if he is unable to articulate why he thought an individual’s conduct violated the law.
