United States Eleventh Circuit

In a prosecution for transporting illegal aliens, the grant of Defendant's motion to suppress evidence obtained from a traffic stop is reversed, where the border patrol agent's decision to stop Defendant's car was based on specific and articulable facts that, viewed in light of the agent's extensive experience, created a reasonable suspicion.
