United States V. Ross 456 U.S. 798 (1982) Facts: On November 27, 1978, Washington, D.C. police detectives received a tip from a reliable informant describing a man known as “Bandit” who was selling illegal narcotics that were kept in the trunk of his car. The reliable informant gave the location of the car and description of both the car and driver. The District of Columbia police officers immediately drove to the location, found the parked car, and called for a computer check on the car, which confirmed that the owner matched the description and used the alias “Bandit”. Shortly thereafter the police observed the car being driven by a man who matched the informant’s description. They stopped the car and ordered the driver out.

If you are riding in the car with an individual and the police pull you over is it okay for the police to arrest the passenger in the car even if he or she says that the contraband that he finds is not his? Another hypothetical question is this, Assume that police discover a crime that has been committed by one person, they go to seven people with questions about the crime, they all deny culpability, and the police already know that one of the guys is guilty. Can all six of these guys be arrested for this one crime even though police don’t really know which person is guilty? There are simple and easy answers to all of these questions : it depends if the police have “probable cause” to think that a person should be arrested and is guilty of a particular crime. That was the complicated part in the Pringle case that was brought out by the Supreme Court.
