Thomas J. Davis v. Commonwealth of Kentuckygreen2 sentences2026In Davis, the Supreme Court held that a DUI stop was unreasonably prolonged for a dog sniff search because “no evidence suggest[ed] that Appellant’s speech, demeanor, or behavior otherwise exhibited any characteristics associated with drug or alcohol intoxication from which an officer might reasonably believe further investigation was necessary.” 484 S.W.3d at 294 . 2025See Davis, 484 S.W.3d at 294 (“The only reason for the sniff search was to discover illegal drugs . . . which adds nothing to indicate if the driver is under the influence and is clearly beyond the purpose of the original DUI stop.”). | 1 | 2 |

Commonwealth of Kentucky v. Telly Savalas Denson
green
2 sentences2018The Court held that any reference to the five-year look-back period that may have occurred during the defendants' bargain process "were not intended to constitute an immunization of DUI defendants from the 2016 changes to the DUI statute, and so may not be relied upon by defendants to avoid the application of the new look-back period." Id. at 745 . 2018This theory produces an absurd result, which further supports our conclusion that this was not the intent of the plea agreement language relied upon by the defendants. .... [W]e conclude that language in DUI agreements such as that in this case, and similar allusions to the five-year look-back period which may have occurred during the plea bargain process, were not intended to constitute an immunization of DUI defendants from the 2016 changes to the DUI statute, and so may not be relied upon by defendants to avoid the application of the new look-back period. 529 S.W.3d at 745 . | 2 | 2018–2018 |
