United States v. Terry Lewis Raino

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 Terry -23- stop was supported by the fact that “the officers were responding to a late-night call that shots had been fired in precisely the area appellant’s car was parked”
• explaining that when an officer’s conduct “is more intrusive than necessary for an investigative stop, an “action tantamount to arrest has taken place” (cleaned up)
• holding that reasonable suspicion existed where officers were responding to late-night call that shots had been fired in precisely the area where the defendant’s car was parked and the defendant pulled away and appeared nervous as officers approached
• holding officer’s actions of partially blocking a vehicle and drawing a gun were reasonable under the circumstances for an investigatory stop
• finding reasonable suspicion where police, responding to late- night reports of fired shots, saw vehicle parked in closed parking lot and observed evasive and suspicious movements
• concluding “officers’ actions did not exceed the bounds of an investigative stop” where they “were responding to a late night call in an area where there had been . . . reports of shots fired” and “there was a large group of people gathered” nearby
