United States Fourth Circuit
US v. Jones, 11-4268
In a prosecution for possession of a firearm by an unlawful user of controlled substances, the district court's denial of a motion to suppress is reversed, where the totality of the circumstances showed there was a seizure in Fourth Amendment terms rather than a consensual encounter, and the police officers who stopped the defendant and discovered evidence on his person did not have a reasonable, articulable suspicion of criminal activity at the time of the stop.
