State v. Doyon8/21/2000
ches, Vermonters commonly edge toward the center of dirt roads and then move right when another car approaches. This kind of background information is plainly part of the "totality of the circumstances," State v. Crandall, 162 Vt. 66, 70, 644 A.2d 320, 323 (1994), that a police officer's reasonable suspicion must consider. And where the trial court evaluating that suspicion, cognizant of the realities of Vermont's dirt roads, concluded that the officer's suspicion was not reasonable, we ought not to overturn that determination. I am authorized to state that Justice Skoglund joins in this dissent.
Jeffrey L. Amestoy, Chief Justice
John A. Dooley, Associate Justice
