07/05/2007 DISP-QUASHED & REMANDED   For the above-stated reasons, we conclude that the Second District erred in concluding that any visible crack in a windshield provides a legal basis for a traffic stop. We answer the revised certified question in the negative based on the statutory provisions, quash the decision of the Second District affirming the trial court's denial of Hilton's motion to suppress, and remand for further proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion.
