State of Georgia v. D.F. (Superior Court of Douglas County)

The client was stopped by police because he was leaving a cul-de-sac where new houses were under construction about 2:00 A.M. Realizing that the motion to suppress would probably be granted because of the lack of reasonable articulable suspicion for the stop, the prosecutor offered the client, who had two prior DUI's in the last five years, a plea bargain to a charge of reckless driving and a fine of only $300 with no jail time, no community service, and no suspension of his license.
