How courts have described this case

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

holding that gang attire is not an articulable fact that \would set defendant apart from an innocent gang pedestrian in the same area\
holding that mere association with a known gang member does not amount to reasonable suspicion because the officers had “nothing connecting this individual defendant to a particular crime or crimes, except the likelihood that he was a gang member”
“We indulge the presumption that the court found all 16 facts in favor of reasonable suspicion.”
“We accept as true the fact that the officers 4 stopped [the] defendant for all the reasons we mention above because substantial 5 evidence supports the fact.”
“We will not 10 make the final leap of faith the state urges upon us, i.e., that the inference arising from 11 gang membership and presence in a gang activity area is sufficient alone to support 12 reasonable suspicion.”
