Two anonymous 911 tips that a man was carrying a gun in the Bronx did not give officers reasonable suspicion to stop and search him, a divided U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled Thursday.
Suppressing a gun seized from defendant Joseph Freeman during the early morning hours of April 27, 2011, two judges on the Second Circuit said police were unable to assess the credibility of an unknown caller and had no other information to corroborate the calls.
