People v. Crump

In People v. Crump, 217 AD2d 902 (4th Dept 1995), the court found that where a police officer received a radio transmission that shots had been fired and that a dark-colored vehicle, possibly a Cadillac, was seen speeding from a specified area, and where eight minutes later, the same officer observed a brown Cadillac parked on the street about one to two minutes away from that area, the officer's action in following the car and stopping it was ruled unlawful insofar as the court determined that: "Those circumstances were insufficient to provide the officer with reasonable suspicion that defendant had committed or was about to commit a crime...". (Crump at 903.)
