United States Second Circuit

In case where police initially stopped car and driver identified by informant as carrying guns, pursued in high speed chase, and apprehended defendant, the driver, denial of defendant's motion to suppress evidence found on his person and in his car is affirmed as, when a driver heeds a police order to stop only to drive away as the police approach, the driver has not been seized within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment since he did not submit to police authority.
