SUPPRESSION OF ALL EVIDENCE IN THIS TRAFFIC STOP CASE AFFIRMED, EXTENSIVE DISSENT QUESTIONED CONTINUED VIABILITY OF THE DEBOUR STREET STOP ANALYSIS, ORAL SUPPRESSION RULING APPEALABLE (CT APP).

The Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division’s determination that suppression of all evidence was required in this traffic stop case. Judge Garcia wrote an extensive dissenting opinion questioning the continued viability of the DeBour criteria for the analysis of encounters with the police. The dissenting opinion is well-worth reading but is not summarized here. The majority noted that a suppression ruling that is not reduced to writing is appealable:

The Appellate Division did not err in rejecting the People’s argument that defendant could not challenge on appeal a suppression ruling that was not reduced to writing. Record evidence supports the Appellate Division’s suppression determination and, accordingly, that determination is beyond this Court’s further review. To the extent the dissent questions the continued utility of the DeBour paradigm for analyzing encounters between police and members of the public (People v DeBour, 40 NY2d 210 [1976]) and suggests that People v Garcia (20 NY3d 317 [2012]) was wrongly decided, those questions are not presented here where the parties litigated this case within the framework of our existing precedent. People v Gates, 2018 NY Slip Op 03096, CtApp 5-1-18
