PA: Motion for return of property in criminal case was remedy, not civil case years later

Defendant had to seek return of his property during the pendency of his criminal case. A separate civil case more than seven years later was barred under state law. Commonwealth v. Allen, 2014 Pa. LEXIS 3526 (December 29, 2014).

A man delivering newspapers at 3 am is nearly run off the road by a red vehicle driving on the wrong side of the road, and he calls 911 and reports it, giving his own identity and what he was doing at 3 am to see this. He is a citizen informant, and relying on his information was reasonable in making the stop. State v. Van Camp, 2014 Tenn. Crim. App. LEXIS 1161 (December 29, 2014).*

Extreme nervousness, inconsistent versions of travel between passenger and driver, multiple air fresheners in the car, and refusal to answer some questions added up to reasonable suspicion. State v. Allen, 2014-Ohio-5752, 2014 Ohio App. LEXIS 5568 (12th Dist. December 30, 2014).*
