CRIMINAL-MOTION TO SUPPRESS-FOURTH AMENDMENT RIGHT TO PRIVACY-SEARCH AND SEIZURE-ARREST WARRANT-INFORMANT'S TIP-COLLECTIVE KNOWLEDGE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT - Law enforcement's prior knowledge of an active, outstanding arrest warrant at the time of the initial encounter during an investigatory stop provided law enforcement with reasonable suspicion to believe defendant had committed a criminal offense and to arrest defendant on the warrant. Further, an officer may drive knowledge from an informant's tip and may also rely on the collective knowledge of other officers involved in a search or investigation when assessing probable cause.
