AC46753 - State v. Marciano (Operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of
alcohol; motion to suppress; “On appeal, the state claims that no constitutional
violation occurred because, at all relevant times, the arresting officer was
acting in his community caretaking capacity. Alternatively, the state argues
that, even if the officer was not acting in his community caretaking capacity,
the defendant was not unlawfully seized because the officer’s conduct did not
constitute a show of authority sufficient to cause a reasonable person in the
defendant’s position to believe that he was not free to leave. We affirm the
judgment of the trial court.”)
