Description
Defendant was convicted of the crime of Possession of a Controlled Substance (cocaine) (ORS 475.992). Prior to trial, defendant moved to suppress evidence found in defendant's handbag at Portland International Airport on the grounds that the evidence was seized in a warrantless search after an illegal stop and that any consent to search was "the product of coercion, deception and/or acquiescence to lawful authority." The trial court allowed the motion to suppress. The Court of Appeals affirmed on the ground that there had been a "stop" which was not based upon "reasonable suspicion" and that, as a result, "defendant's consent to the search was irrelevant." 45 Or App 911, 919, 609 P2d 438 (1980). Four members of that court dissented. We allowed the state's petition for review.
