People v. Santos

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Nov 15, 1994
209 A.D.2d 263 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994)

Opinion

November 15, 1994

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Daniel FitzGerald, J.).


Upon review of the record, we find no basis to disturb either the hearing court's findings on credibility or its conclusions that the arresting officers acted on the basis of probable cause. The initial police action was based on the personal knowledge of one of the officers, and that knowledge is imputed to his fellow officers who received the transmission. Subsequent police activity was proportionate to the degree of knowledge possessed by the officers.

Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Carro, Rosenberger, Williams and Tom, JJ.
