U.S. v. Norville

Dist. Ct. did not err in denying without conducting evidentiary hearing defendant’s motion to suppress seizure of drugs that took place following traffic stop. Defendant argued that police lacked probable cause to make traffic stop, and record did not support officer’s claim that defendant was stopped for driving without license, where defendant was riding motorized bicycle. However, record did support traffic stop on charge of running stop sign, where video from officer’s video camera indicated that defendant had rolled past stop sign, and, where Dist. Ct. made finding from video that defendant never came to stop at intersection. As such, Dist. Ct. was not required to hold evidentiary hearing, where video captured traffic violation.
