Goucher, a passenger in a vehicle stopped for traffic violations, was questioned and her purse searched after the traffic stop's scope concluded. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's suppression order, finding that Goucher's statement was made during questioning outside the scope of the traffic stop and that there was no reasonable suspicion to justify the nonconsensual search of her purse.","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=142875","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-v-dawn-goucher-d82550","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":36,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure","topic: search-and-seizure","text: state of missouri","text: suppression"],"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":"respondent"}]}
