The court reverses the order that suppressed evidence based on the Appellee’s concession of error and remands the case for further proceedings. Citing *State v. Green*, the court clarifies that illuminating the interior of a vehicle with a flashlight does not violate the Fourth Amendment. The officer had probable cause to suspect the vehicle contained cocaine after observing a razor blade with white residue on the center console. The decision is unanimous among the judges.
