O'Neal v. State

ANSTEAD, Judge,

dissenting.

I would reverse and hold that a police officer had no lawful authority to enter the driveway of a private residence with his gun drawn and seize a person, after observing the person remove an object completely obscured and wrapped in a towel from the front seat of a vehicle, just because the officer suspected the wrapped object was a weapon. Cf. Brown v. State, 18 Fla.L.Weekly D1231, D1233, 1993 WL 152499 (Fla. 4th DCA May 12, 1993) (Letts, J., specially concurring).
