City of Pasadena v. Super. Ct.
How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that a tip that an individual “had a gun” in Washington did not support a reasonable suspicion of wrongdoing because carrying a firearm is “presumptively lawful in Washington”
- holding that even where a license is required for concealed carry, a tip that someone is carrying a gun creates “a very weak inference that” it is unlicensed and unlawful
- explaining why unprovoked flight from police receives “significant” but not dispositive weight in the reasonable suspicion analysis
- “The anonymous tip that Brown had a gun thus created at most a very weak inference that was unlawfully carrying the gun without a license, and certainly not enough to alone support a Terry stop.”
