The suppression order was based on the trial court's finding that the initial traffic stop, initiated due to a single functioning brake light, was unlawful. The appellate court reversed, holding that Missouri Revised Statute § 304.019.1(4) requires all manufacturer-installed stoplights to be in operating condition, making the traffic stop lawful. The case was remanded for further proceedings.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","search-and-seizure","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=132193","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-plaintiff-appellant-v-natalie-lane-champagne-defendant-d35393","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":38,"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: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
