Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Possession of a Controlled Substance
Defendant was arrested for possession of methamphetamine after his person and vehicle were searched after traffic stop based on his failure to signal a lane change and officer discovered he was driving while suspended. Court properly granted Defendant's motion to suppress evidence. Video shows that Defendant did not move from left lane into right lane, but continued to proceed along the right-hand white fog line and did not abruptly move in either direction. Court's finding that Defendant did not execute a lane change was not against manifest weight of evidence. (LYTTON, concurring; SCHMIDT, dissenting.)
