E.D.Mich.: Detailed tip about def coupled with seeing bulge of a gun was RS

Aside from the detailed tip the police had about defendant, the officer saw the bulge of a gun, and that was reasonable suspicion. United States v. Bridges, 2016 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 95367 (E.D.Mich. July 21, 2016).*

Defendant’s patdown at the time was a search because the officer’s hands went into defendant’s pockets first, but the government shows it’s inevitable that defendant would have been subjected to a full search anyway because he looked like the person they were looking for and he was getting more agitated as it went on. United States v. Clark, 2016 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 93671 (D.Me. July 19, 2016).*
