The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Calvin Moore, Appellant

Summary

The Court held that the police officers unlawfully stopped the defendant at gunpoint because an anonymous tip lacking predictive information did not provide reasonable suspicion, and the defendant's later movement could not cure the illegal seizure. Consequently, the gun seized was suppressed and the indictment dismissed. Justice Smith dissented, arguing that the combination of the tip and the defendant’s avoidance should suffice for reasonable suspicion.
