New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York v. Robert K. Sobotker
February 14, 197843 N.Y.2d 559
Summary
The Court held that the plain‑clothes officers’ stop of the defendant’s automobile was an unlawful seizure because it lacked reasonable suspicion, and therefore the gun and ammunition discovered as a result must be suppressed, leading to reversal of the conviction and dismissal of the indictment.
