[T] State v. Wood6/1/2004
ere stopped was constitutional); State v. Sanders, 112 N.C. App. 477, 480, 435 S.E.2d 842, 844 (1993) (checkpoint for drivers' licenses where all vehicles were stopped was constitutional).
At the hearing on defendant's motion to suppress, Officer Mitchell testified that, as authorized by her supervisor, all vehicles were stopped at the checkpoint for drivers' licenses and registrations according to the police department's written guidelines. Officer Mitchell explained that the checkpoint was established at a location with a "heavy flow of traffic" to check for drivers' licenses and vehicle registrations. Defendant has conceded all vehicles were stopped at the checkpoint.
Based on the foregoing, we conclude the checkpoint, established to check for drivers' licenses and registrations of all vehicles, was constitutional. As such, the trial court did not err in denying defendant's motion to suppress.
No error.
Judges HUNTER and ELMORE concur.
Report per Rule 30(e).
