Description
Gary Myers appeals, following his conditional plea of guilty to possession of methamphetamine. I.C. § 37-2732. Myers reserved the right to appeal from the district courts order denying his motion to suppress certain inculpatory statements, as well as physical evidence found on his person and on his motorcycle. The issues on appeal are: (1) whether the officers observation of a traffic violation provided a sufficient basis for the stop, regardless of any underlying motivation to look for evidence of an unrelated offense; (2) whether Myers was in "custody" for purposes of Miranda warnings; and (3) whether Myers detention, for the purpose of interrogating him concerning possible criminal activity unrelated to the officers stated reasons for the stop, violated Myers Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable seizures. For reasons explained below, we reverse.
