Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Search & Seizure
Unmarked police car stopped Defendant, who was driving truck near Midway Airport, and without warrant or permission of Defendant, officers entered truck and found cocaine and money inside side padding in cooler located in truck. Court erred in applying probable cause standard to determine whether investigatory stop was justified rather than considering totality of evidence. Officer identified specific and articulable facts supporting his reasonable suspicion that Defendant was transporting narcotics, sufficient to conduct investigatory stop of Defendant. (HOFFMAN and CUNNINGHAM, concurring.)
