Mere Encounter Request for Identification Transformation to Investigative Detention
Commonwealth v. Au, PICS Case No. 12-0840 (Pa. April 26, 2012) Saylor, J.; Baer, J., dissenting (27 pages).
The arresting officer’s request for identification from the occupants of a legally parked vehicle did not transform the encounter with appellee into an unconstitutional investigatory detention. The court reversed the order of Superior Court affirming the suppression of evidence.
