OFFICER HAD A REASONABLE BASIS TO CONDUCT A FRISK OF THE DEFENDANT FOR SAFETY REASONS AFTER A VEHICLE STOP (THIRD DEPT).

The Third Department, over a dissent, determined the officer who stopped the car in which defendant was a passenger had a reasonable basis to frisk the defendant for safety. The frisk resulted in the seizure of a handgun. At the time of the frisk, the officer knew the defendant was out past his parole curfew and suspected defendant had violated his conditions of parole by consuming alcohol. In addition, defendant was riding in an unregistered car and the driver did not have a license:

A suspect’s status as a parolee is a relevant factor to consider when evaluating the reasonableness of a particular search or seizure  … , particularly where, as here, the officer had reason to believe that defendant was then and there violating both the curfew and alcohol conditions of his parole. The hour was late and the driver was driving an unregistered vehicle without a license. Defendant’s evasive, if not flippant, “sales” response as to why he was on parole, coupled with his repeated denial of alcohol use, heightened the volatility of the situation. Cumulatively, these factors validate County Court’s conclusion that the officer had a reasonable basis to conduct the frisk to assure his own safety … . People v Carey, 2018 NY Slip Op 05376, Third Dept 7-19-18
