PEOPLE v. LITTLE (2002)

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Ronald Zweibel, J.), rendered May 24, 2000, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fourth degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to a term of 3 to 6 years, unanimously affirmed.

Defendant's suppression motion was properly denied.   The police officers acted properly in stopping defendant's vehicle for a traffic violation related to a cracked windshield.   Any additional motives for the stop are irrelevant (see People v. Robinson, 97 N.Y.2d 341, 741 N.Y.S.2d 147, 767 N.E.2d 638).   There is no basis upon which to disturb the court's credibility determinations, which are supported by the record (see People v. Prochilo, 41 N.Y.2d 759, 761, 395 N.Y.S.2d 635, 363 N.E.2d 1380).
