Commonwealth v. Carrington

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• where police engaged in cooperative effort, the knowledge of one officer may be attributed to all
• two factors supporting probable cause for arrest were early morning hour and short distance between location of stop and crime scene
• Terry stop was lawful where suspect fit physical description but was wearing different clothing
• where “rapist had been described as a black male in his thirties with a receding hairline, a moustache and a beard, and wearing a blue running jacket and dark shorts,” fact that defendant met this description was insufficient to provide probable cause to believe he was rapist
