Rocco v. State

In Rocco v. State, 267 Ga. App. 900, 903 (2) (601 SE2d 189) (2004), the Court held that a search pursuant to a valid Fourth Amendment waiver "was triggered by a good-faith suspicion which arose in the course of routine investigative work, and was not conducted merely to harass Rocco." Id. at 904 (2). Although that suspicion arose from a tipster of unknown reliability, this court held that there was no evidence that the "officers acted in bad faith or in an arbitrary and capricious manner or solely to harass Rocco" and that "the officers acted reasonably in investigating information that Rocco, who was on bail for drug offenses, was still involved in drug activity." Id. at 903 (2).
