Alabama v. White

An anonymous tip told police that White (defendant) would leave a specific apartment at a specific time, driving a described car to a specific hotel, carrying cocaine in a briefcase; police corroborated the time, location, and vehicle details by surveillance before stopping her car just short of the hotel, and a subsequent consented search turned up marijuana and, later, cocaine. The Alabama courts held the stop unconstitutional for lack of reasonable suspicion and reversed her conviction.
