Federal 7th Circuit Court
Criminal Court
Search and Seizure
In prosecution on drug charge arising out of police discovery of meth lab, Dist. Ct. erred in denying defendant's motion to suppress evidence obtained after police stopped defendant's vehicle after observing that said vehicle had emerged from residence suspected by police of drug activity. Under Johnson, 170 F3d 708, mere suspicion of illegal activity at particular place, without more, is not enough to justify stopping everyone emerging from that property, and police otherwise lacked reasonable suspicion to justify stop of defendant's vehicle.
