The officer was on patroll in a high crime rate neighborhood known for regular drug trafficking. He observed two men loading packages in to a vehicle. As the men saw the officer they ran away and escaped. The car then pulled away from the curb. No traffic or other violations were observed. The officer stopped the vehicle and ordered the driver to open the trunk. In the trunk were packages and upon opening them he found drugs.
Is the evidence admissible? Why or why not?
