Police could stop car based on call by daughter that father was drunk State v. Amelio

Police could stop car based on call by daughter that father was drunk
State v. Paul Amelio (A-92-07) 12-22-08

Based on the report to dispatch by defendant’s seventeen-year- old daughter, who identified herself, reported that her father
was driving drunk, described the vehicle, and exposed herself to criminal prosecution if her report was knowingly false, there
was reasonable and articulable suspicion of an offense to support a constitutional motor vehicle stop by the police.
