Description

The State (Appellant) appeals the trial court's ruling granting the motion of Defendant (Appellee) to suppress physical evidence and testimony in connection with the prosecution of Appellee for various sex crimes. We reverse and remand for further proceedings. On the evening of January 8, 1999, a Hallandale police officer was on routine patrol in his car when a Latin female approached and advised him that a white man in a dark-colored car had been following her. The woman allegedly told him at this time that a man in his mid to late twenties, driving a black sports car, had asked her if she wanted a ride. She declined. The young man later approached her in his car again, but this time he was naked. According to the woman, he offered her $2,000 to watch him m********e. She reported the car had been traveling east on Hallandale Boulevard but had turned south. The officer told the woman to keep walking east along Hallandale Boulevard and that he would drive ahead of her and wait. He told her to signal him if she saw the man approach again. Within two minutes, the officer saw Appellee, a 66-year old man, in a blue, 1989 Chrysler coupe turn east onto Hallandale Boulevard from N.W. 2nd Avenue. Appellee drove his car slowly past the girl without stopping and passed the officer's car. The woman did not signal the officer. The officer followed driving his car behind Appellee and then pulled into a Firestone tire store parking lot at the corner of Hallandale Boulevard and Dixie Highway. He did not stop Appellee's vehicle. The officer parked his car and approached the passenger side of Appellee's vehicle while it was stopped on Hallandale Boulevard at a red light. The passenger side window was down on Appellee's car and the officer could see inside.
