The trial court set aside the suspension, finding no evidence of criminal activity for the traffic stop and no probable cause for arrest due to the lack of field sobriety tests. The appellate court reversed, holding that in administrative suspension hearings, the lawfulness of the initial traffic stop is immaterial, and field sobriety tests are not mandatory to establish probable cause for an alcohol-related arrest. The court reinstated the Director's order suspending Turner's driving privileges.","primaryTopic":"administrative-law","topicSlugs":["administrative-law","criminal-procedure","standard-of-review","evidence"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=166754","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/justin-richard-turner-v-director-of-revenue-d83439","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":12,"source":"topic","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
