Heading: Campbell's Stop

Text: Petitioner Phillip Campbell was stopped at around 6 p.m. After an officer discovered that Campbell had a suspended license, Campbell was transported to the county jail where officers searched him and found powder cocaine and marijuana in his sock. Campbell moved to suppress the contraband seized from him and contended that the police roadblock constituted an unlawful seizure in violation of the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution, and contrary to our holding in Jones. At the hearing on the motion to suppress, the State relied on a police standard operational order to satisfy any Fourth Amendment concerns. When his motion to suppress was denied, Campbell entered a plea of no contest to drug possession charges, reserving the right to appeal the denial of the motion to suppress. The First District, in a split vote, affirmed Campbell's conviction and upheld the legality of the roadblock.
