People v. Harrell

Defendant was arrested in Maywood, IL by Chicago police officers in gang investigations unit, acting on tip from informant, and recovered drugs and handgun from his Maywood residence. Court properly quashed arrest and suppressed all statements made related to arrest, as Chicago police arrest was extraterritorial; Defendant's act, surveillance, stop and search, and arrest all occurred outside officers' jurisdiction. Defendant's stepfather had apparent authority to consent to search of Defendant's bedroom, and court properly denied Defendant's motion to suppress evidence found in bedroom. Deterrent effect of applying exclusionary rule could serve purpose of assuring that police act within their authority. (STEELE and NEVILLE, concurring.)
