One November evening, at approximately 6:40 p.m., Detectives Kraft and Williams were dressed in plainclothes and driving in an unmarked car. They were targeting Maple Park and Elm Park federal housing complexes for trespassing and drug violations. At the time, there were established procedures for apprehending trespassers within the housing complexes and management had provided officers with a list of all tenants for that purpose. When an individual was stopped inside one of the complexes, police officers were instructed to ask his or her purpose for being there. If the individual stated that he or she was visiting a resident who could be found on the list, the person was usually released. Otherwise, police would bring the individual to the specific apartment the individual claimed to be visiting. If the resident at that apartment did not know the individual, the individual would be arrested for trespassing.
On this evening, the detectives got out of their vehicle after they observed a person sitting on a bicycle, in the rain, between two buildings in Maple Park, which was an area in the complex known for narcotics activity. “No Trespassing” signs were posted in the area. As the detectives approached the person, Detective Kraft recognized him as Marcus Devine, whom he knew from several prior encounters with him at the Maple Park and Elm Park housing complexes. On those two prior occasions, when Detective Kraft had investigated the lawfulness of Devine’s presence at the complexes, Devine appeared to have a valid reason for being at the complexes.
When Detective Kraft was within fifteen or twenty feet of Devine, Devine began to ride away. Detective Kraft chased Devine, grabbed his arm, and stopped him. Upon seizing Devine, Detective Kraft asked Devine what his reason was for being in Maple Park and why he tried to flee. Devine responded that he was doing nothing. Detective Kraft placed him under arrest for trespassing. A search of Devine’s person revealed two bags of cocaine in his left pocket.

In the middle of May, around 7:00 p.m., one of your officers was told by dispatch that an anonymous caller reported a man with a handgun at the corner of New Street and Sparrow Lane. The caller described the individual as a tall, thin, dark-skinned male wearing a black jacket and a black and red cap. The officer quickly arrived at the scene and saw three men standing at the corner, one of whom was wearing a red jacket and a black and red cap. He noticed that, except for the color of the individual’s jacket, the man, later identified as Zack Heath, matched the physical description relayed by dispatch. Heath’s jacket was open, and he wore a long white tee-shirt that hung well below his jacket.
The officer pulled his patrol car onto the sidewalk next to where Heath stood with his companions. At that time, the officer recognized Heath from prior narcotics investigations and recalled that he had previously arrested him for drug violations. The officer was also aware that Heath lived in the area and was “associated” with a local street gang. He did not know Heath to carry a weapon, but the officer’s experience suggested that it was common for guns to be found in connection with narcotics offenses. Additionally, your police department had received information almost daily regarding incidents concerning both handguns and shootings in that area involving the same gang.
Upon seeing the patrol car approach the corner, Heath and his companions began to walk away. The officer noticed that Heath appeared quite nervous and observed him move his hand towards his waistband as he was turning away. From his experience, the officer was aware that suspects hide weapons in their waistbands, and, on this occasion, believed that Heath was hiding a gun there. The officer exited his police car, approached Heath, and had him place his hands against a nearby chain-link fence. Heath cooperated. The officer then lifted Heath’s tee-shirt (to expose his stomach) and observed the top of a plastic bag protruding roughly two inches from his waistband. The officer removed the bag and found that it contained suspected crack cocaine.
