Sylvania v. Comeau

In Sylvania v. Comeau, Lucas App. No. L-01-1232, 2002 Ohio 529, the police received a tip from a driving school that it had just fired a mechanic, and that the mechanic might try to damage the school's vehicles in retaliation. An officer saw a parked vehicle in the parking lot of the strip mall where the driving school was located, and the officer then pulled the car over as the car left the parking lot. The officer did not know how long the car had been in the parking lot, the driver of the vehicle had not violated any traffic laws, and the officer did not have a description of the driving school mechanic or his vehicle. In Comeau, there was absolutely no description whatsoever.
