Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Jesse Ramirez, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Badding and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Chicchelly, J. (4 pages)
Mason Daniel Hampton appeals his conviction of operating while intoxicated, challenging the district court’s denial of his motion to suppress evidence obtained as a result of a traffic stop. OPINION HOLDS: Because the officer did not violate Hampton’s federal constitutional rights to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures and we decline to adopt a more stringent interpretation under the Iowa Constitution, we affirm the district court’s denial of his motion to suppress.
