“The 5-0 Rochester-based court said they did not agree with prosecution claims that the officer’s statement to Savage and his companion of “What’s up, guys?” was merely a “friendly greeting” that did not constitute a request for information.”
The hastily discarded holster and gun should have been a give-away he was a wrong guy, though. I don’t think I read any other interaction? What difference does all that other horse crap make? Does this mean if a cruiser is driving behind a car and the driver guns it and runs through a red light, the cops can’t give chase cause they made the poor guy nervous? WTF?
No. It says the police can't pull the guy over simply because they didn't like the way he looked at them.
