Since deputy Lang did not testify, the record is silent as to what prompted him to administer a PBT to Knapp. The trial court sustained the revocation, and Knapp appealed. An arresting officer's sole reason for believing that a driver was under the influence of alcohol was a statement by another officer that the driver had failed a preliminary screening test. In order to require the test, the officer must have a specific and articulable suspicion of a violation of Minn. Stat. State, Dept. of Pub.
Articulable suspicion includes evidence of sufficient indicia of intoxication.
An automobile stop is valid if the officer had a particularized, objective basis for suspecting criminal activity. On review, we must decide whether as a matter of law the basis for the stop was adequate. Berge v. Commissioner of Pub. Deputy Holland relied in good faith on information he obtained through deputy Lang. An arresting officer may rely on all collective information in the police department, and, acting in good faith on the basis of such information, may assume at the time of apprehension that probable cause has been established.
