Nimmo appealed his conviction for possession of a controlled substance, arguing the trial court erred in denying his motion to suppress evidence obtained from an unlawful seizure and search of his vehicle. The trial court found two independent bases for the stop: an equipment violation and reasonable suspicion of criminal activity. The Missouri Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction, concluding that Nimmo failed to challenge the investigatory basis for the stop, which independently supported the trial court's ruling.","primaryTopic":"search-and-seizure","topicSlugs":["search-and-seizure","criminal-procedure","evidence","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=133193","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-plaintiff-respondent-v-chadwick-l-nimmo-defendant-appel-d35313","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":40,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure","topic: search-and-seizure","text: state of missouri","text: conviction","text: criminal"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: evidence","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
