E. J. Strickland Construction v. Department Agriculture and Consumer Services Florida

Police officers after a surveillance of the area and determining that apparently drug dealings were taking place, conducted a "drug sweep" hoping to catch the drug dealers by surprise. Porter, acting as a look out, saw the officers and warned the drug dealers that the police were coming by yelling certain code words so indicating. The suspected drug dealers ran from the scene and escaped from the officers. Porter was arrested for obstructing and interfering with the officers in the performance of their duties. Porter was searched incidental to the arrest and cocaine was found on his person.
