State of Ohio v. Jackie Jackson, Case No. 2021-0452
First District Court of Appeals (Hamilton County)
ISSUES:
- When a police officer opens a driver's door and orders the driver to step outside the vehicle, is that action a search under the U.S. and Ohio constitutions?
- Does the officer's order to the driver to exit the vehicle give the officer the right to search the vehicle's interior, or must the officer have an independent justification for the search?
