Statement About Gang Affiliation Should Have Been Suppressed—Not Merely “Pedigree” Information

The Second Department determined that defendant’s statement about his gang affiliation should have been suppressed. The defendant had not yet been read his Miranda rights.  The People’s argument that the statement was simply part of so-called “pedigree” information (like “address” and “phone number”) was rejected.  The error was deemed harmless however.  People v Hiraeta, 2014 NY Slip Op 03698, 2nd Dept 5-21-14
