State of Iowa
v.
Michael Scheffert
The State is seeking further review after the court of appeals reversed the appellant’s conviction for possession of marijuana and remanded for further proceedings. The court of appeals determined that because it did not have any evidence the ordinance the appellant allegedly violated had been properly adopted by the conservation board, it must be assumed that the officer made a mistake of law when making the stop. The court further found a mistake of law cannot justify a stop under article I, section 8 of the Iowa Constitution. State v. Coleman, 890 N.W.2d 284 (Iowa 2017).
