Florida v. J.L.

Acting solely on an anonymous tip describing a young man carrying a gun at a bus stop, officers stopped and frisked J.L. (defendant), who matched the description, and found a concealed firearm; J.L. was a minor charged with unlawfully carrying a concealed weapon. J.L. moved to suppress the gun as the fruit of an unlawful stop, and after conflicting rulings in the Florida courts, the Florida Supreme Court held the search unconstitutional, and the U.S. Supreme Court granted certiorari.
