People v. Tomassi

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Jul 12, 1985
112 A.D.2d 747 (N.Y. App. Div. 1985)

Opinion

July 12, 1985

Appeal from the Oneida County Court, Buckley, J.

Present — Dillon, P.J., Callahan, Doerr, Boomer and Schnepp, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: The findings of fact made by the suppression court are fully supported in the record and demonstrate that the police had probable cause to believe that defendant's vehicle contained contraband. The police were thus free, without a warrant, to stop and search the automobile and its contents ( United States v. Ross, 456 U.S. 798; People v Langen, 60 N.Y.2d 170, cert denied 465 U.S. 1028).

We have reviewed defendant's other claims of error and find them to be without merit.
