SUPREME COURT PROPERLY FOUND THE GUNPOINT ARREST UNLAWFUL AND PROPERLY SUPPRESSED THE SEIZED ITEMS AND THE LINEUP IDENTIFICATION (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department determined Supreme Court properly suppressed evidence seized at the time of the illegal arrest, as well as the subsequent lineup identification:

… [A]t the time of the gunpoint seizure of the two defendants, the police had an anonymous tip that an undescribed suspect or suspects had burglarized an unspecified apartment on the sixth floor of a building, they spoke to building residents who reported noise on that floor, and they saw defendants leaving an apartment on that floor carrying undescribed bags. The totality of this information failed to provide reasonable suspicion to support an immediate forcible seizure without any inquiry. The police learned additional information, but only after the unlawful seizure.

Therefore, the court properly suppressed all physical evidence as fruit of the illegality. Furthermore, the court also granted suppression, independently of the initial illegality, because the witness’s recollection about the subsequent search of the contents of the bags, and about the recovery of gloves from the hallway floor, was so limited that the People did not meet their initial burden of coming forward with credible evidence to establish either a search of the bags incident to a lawful arrest or the abandonment of the gloves … .

The record also supports the court’s determination to suppress an officer’s lineup identification of [defendant] Salkey, who had fled the scene, as the unattenuated fruit of the unlawful stop and frisk … . The vague testimony provided no explanation of how Salkey came to be placed in a lineup, and no basis for finding attenuation from the initial illegality. People v Brown, 2018 NY Slip Op 07956, First Dept 11-20-18
