Description

¶ 1 In this case we determine whether a police officer's observation of head and shoulder movements of the rear seat passenger in a motor vehicle, coupled with the officer's conclusion during a routine traffic stop that the passenger appeared "very, very nervous," provides sufficient reason for the officer to detain and search that passenger. Following a suppression hearing, the trial court concluded that the officer's observations were indeed sufficient. Defendant Benjamin R. Reppert appeals the court's ruling, contending that the officer's observations failed to create a reasonable suspicion of his involvement in criminal activity. We agree with Reppert's assertion and conclude accordingly that the officer detained him illegally. Accordingly, we reverse Reppert's judgment of sentence.
