State v. Dixson

In State v. Dixson, 280 Ga. App. 260 (633 SE2d 636) (2006), the Court held that a return of "unknown" insurance status standing alone did not provide reasonable, articulable suspicion to initiate a traffic stop. 280 Ga. App. at 262-263. In reaching this result, we noted that the police officer "did not testify that an 'unknown' status likely meant that Dixson's car was uninsured. Nor did he testify about any prior experience or training he had with such a response from a National Crime Information Center search or why the database might produce such a response." Id. at 262.
