Without the gun, there is no crime. Thus, Reeves's conviction is vacated. However, the participants consistently used this phrase to describe the location of Officer Cameron's car. A Texas statute providing that a person commits an offense when he refuses to identify himself to a police officer upon demand was determined to be unconstitutional. The State argues that facts which occurred after Officer Cameron made the decision to stop Reeves and initiated the stop may be considered in determining whether the stop was justified.
Events occurring after initiation of the stop have no bearing on whether the stop was justified.
Officer Cameron's intention to stop Reeves would be obvious to Reeves at that point. Thus, events occurring thereafter are irrelevant.
