Description
MAJORITY OPINION JUSTICE CAPPY 1 The three instant appeals were consolidated for oral argument and will be disposed of together in this opinion since they raise a single identical issue; namely, whether contraband discarded by a person fleeing a police officer are the fruits of an illegal ""seizure"" where the officer possessed neither ""probable cause"" to arrest the individual nor reasonable suspicion to stop the individual and conduct a Terry frisk. 2 In each case, we reverse the Superior Court and hold that the discarded contraband must be suppressed.
