As they were on a deserted highway and the police car was behind, the police had no lawful pretense to pursue and search the defendant. All the events that precipitated were thereful unlawful. That's why he got off the hook.
Also, I wonder what happened to ":::dennis-larry:: of the meads-family:::"

I read the decision and that was he surprising part...only needing to signal when there are other cars. Still thought it would have been a lawful stop though. Weird all around.
