U.S. v. Griffin

In prosecution on drug and firearms charges, Dist. Ct. did not err in denying defendant's motion to suppress drugs that he had thrown out of his car during low-speed car chase, even though defendant had argued that he was illegally seized when he threw drugs out of car. While govt.'s conceded that police did not have reasonable suspicion to justify stopping him at time they initiated chase, denial of suppression motion was proper since defendant was not seized for 4th Amendment purposes when he discarded drugs, but rather became seized only when he was subsequently pulled over by police.
