Rudolph v. Commonwealth

The Supreme Court reverses a defendant's conviction for possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute. The police's stop of defendant's vehicle violated the defendant's Fourth Amendment rights. The fact that the defendant and a companion could be preparing to rob the gas station in an area where the police increased their presence due to recent robberies and break-ins did not equate to a reasonable suspicion.
