New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York v. Charles Rosemond
January 22, 197026 N.Y.2d 101
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment, holding that Section 180‑a of the Criminal Procedure Code does not require an objective basis of suspicion for a police stop and questioning, and that the defendant's Fourth Amendment rights were not violated because the street inquiry was lawful and the subsequent arrest was supported by probable cause derived from the suspect's answers.
