District Court of Appeal of Florida

A petition for writ of certiorari is granted where objective evidence established probable cause to believe that respondent was impaired while he was operating his motor vehicle, and thus, the absence of a statement in the arrest report, indicating that the officer initiated the stop for suspicion of impairment, did not operate to negate the objective existence of probable cause.
