Opinion
September 21, 1995
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County (Joseph Mazur, J.).
Defendant's claim that he was denied a fair trial because of testimony that street level buy and bust operations are set up "wherever there have been complaints of narcotics transactions" was not preserved by the general objection he made when the testimony was proffered (CPL 470.05; People v. Tevaha, 84 N.Y.2d 879), and in any event is without merit, such testimony being admissible as explanatory of police presence and conduct at a particular location ( People v. Garcia, 213 A.D.2d 249, lv denied 85 N.Y.2d 973).
