P. v. Maka
Appellant Joachin Maka was convicted, pursuant to a plea agreement, of possession of a loaded firearm in a public place. On appeal, he contends the trial court erred when it denied his motion to suppress evidence because police officers did not have reasonable suspicion to stop his car based on his briefly honking his horn as he drove past their recently stopped car. We conclude that the prosecution failed to satisfy its burden of proving that there was objectively reasonable suspicion for the traffic stop. We shall therefore reverse the judgment and remand the matter to the trial court for further proceedings.
