How courts have described this case

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

• police officer did not have probable cause to search defendant's mouth for the presence of cocaine when the officer testified that he knew that Cummo had something in his mouth which he suspected might be cocaine
• since there was no evidence other than detective's bare suspicion that the object in Cummo's mouth was rock cocaine, and the detective did not reasonably believe that Cummo was armed with a dangerous weapon, the search was invalid
