Impeding traffic basis for pullover was
challenged, based on officer's video.
Mr. Head did not believe that his clients
momentary delay in shifting to first gear in her
convertible was a legal violation, as applied to
these facts. A pretrial motion challenging the
articulable suspicion for the use of blue lights
to pull her over was denied by the Cherokee County
trial judge.
Bubba Head appealed this decision and the Georgia
Court of Appeals granted our appeal. Because the
original trial court ruling was overturned, all of
the evidence obtained as the result of our
client’s pullover and subsequent arrest for
drunk driving thrown out, meaning that the
impeding traffic charge and the DUI were
dismissed, saving our client’s job in the
process.
