in peoria illinois for the defendant bobby in the law in this case we appeal the district court's order of nine emotions cross and contend that the rock island city police officer acting solely on the basis of  basis of tips from somebody who they know where they don't dig back into further layers of how that information came to them somebody else say i saw a man running down the street or they'll say something and i just wonder under your theory how far back they're supposed to dig in this chain for something like reasonable suspicion when a case such as this and valving piece backs were to tally the circumstances presented pursue other actions such as a consensual encounter but the question here that it is back to is how do the tipsters know what they speak unlike the situation robinson this court address to known sources approach rock island police department officers and tell them that abraham problems was in the possession of a firearm the officers in that case relying on these to go to upstairs who were conveying second hand information already knew that mr robinson was a convicted felon they already knew of mr robinson's history of gang violence firearms and a legal activity there for the tip conveyed by the two known tipsters resonated with the police in such a way as to give them the reasonable suspicion but what incentive would mr peters have had sufficiently concerned that he wants to contact the police i'm pretty unclear on how you think it's suppose how much investigation the police are supposed to devote to you know the people who gave the tip whether as you say you have to go off in the corners of the police can talk to you or you know what what you think should have happened well as far as mr peters concerns interest here to protect his liability and that of the staffer is to convey to the police every tipi gets and let them sort it out so in that instance peter's interest  statute is to is to report to police and the police are to act consistent with fourth amendment jurisprudence as to having reasonable suspicion of criminal activity before one is seized and searched under teary so in this instance where the officer is relying upon a tip find no source but the tip being conveyed with otherwise fail in every respect  forming reasonable suspicion that a particular individual is doing something illegal but as such he turns the fourth amendment on its head and conflates the reasonable suspicion requirement to terry versus ohio search as a result so respectfully in that instance that that that would even this or a fourth amendment guarantees and relieve police of formulating probable cause and of the  the waistband flows from that and there isn't enough i can compare this situation to the situation in the wooden case where the tipster in that case the phone call reports that there was a domestic dispute and that due to tipster saw or witnessed the suspect pull a weapon on his domestic partner and this court of the woods said that the need for prompt action in that case was that the tipster witnessed the act of drawing and pulling the gun on an individual and the likelihood that people would do that to a loved one our domestic family member he would do it again so the police needed to act promptly in this instance the police arrived there was no claim that the man was that some individual was rep rendition firearm threatening anyone with a firearm and when the police approached mr mccaul he was not a geisha any further pursuit of behavior he was not seeking to flee he did not appear as an robinson to have a large optics in his pocket or favoring one pocket or a good man or a gate the police approached holmes approached first he had two officers standing by with them should have approached mr mccall done a fight himself he was in plainclothes the police officer in effect walked by mr macaws way to the bar to talk to the bar owner if you for his pointed out before it was pointed out the officer then approaches him he should have identified himself and asked questions about what he was doing because at the time that mr mccall was approached he was merely dancing on the dance floor with his girlfriend with a beer in his hand as were many other people at the daiquiri factory that hour the morning so it consensual encounters police can always approach people and ask questions and then i'm like the situation hopes in that case relied upon the government the police relied upon secondhand information i prefer operator of a halfway house for convicted felons when they approached mr hopes to investigate some concerns that were raised hopes response was to get up and aggressively go towards the police and that is since the court said clearly the response to the officers approach provided additional grounds to raise reasonable suspicion that's not the case here so respectfully we ask that this court easy it would be to call in a tip and say you know i'm i'm the tips right you know me i'm calling you the police officer and i say there's a man in this room who has a beer and he's wearing a dark robe and i know that he has a gun and maybe i'm just saying that because i've decided to make an annoying day for my colleague here and to my right  but you know all i've done actually is just describe him i haven't in any way indicated why i might think or not think that he's carrying a gun and the risk that the court's talking about in j is precisely that risk so here we have the same thing yes they've described mr mccarthy we don't know any thing at all to know why anybody thinks he has a gun and it seems to me if the bar owner wants to proceed with the police at a minimum he'd say i need to take your name you know so that when the police come i can you know get them to talk to you so that they'll know why you think this is the case so i pretty easy if that is easy from bar owners perspective to to ask for a name i mean to place myself in the position of the bar owner under that circumstance i think it was probably a little more hard harry for him and what i think is distinguishable from j l your honor that transfer that question is although we don't know the basis for either customers knowledge what we do know is two customers two different ones come up my details i could if they could have chatted teach own say you know we don't like the car he's kind of a jerk you know let's get the police on him and would we i don't know why that enhances when since you don't know anything about who these people were or why they came to the conclusion that they wanted to go talk to the bar owner and say you had a gun because we really can't i mean actually x post we know he did have a gun but that's not the way we're supposed to look at this yes that too could have theoretically colluded pretty easy there in a bar there chatting and i don't see where there's any lack of opportunity to do that now and nor respectfully do i believe though that the government has to negate every possibility of nefarious action on part of the tipsters but i'm just saying you can't rely on this as something that really boosts anything because you know nothing about it i agree that the government doesn't have to negate everything that we need to understand we need to see if the fact that officer holmes knew mr peters to the bar owner is that enough to create the kind of solid basis for at least a terry stop we were all agreeing i think that this is a  agree with the district court that under the totality of the circumstances and that included the no tipster being kyle peters but that fact alone that the district court in adopting them are no hard didn't find would be he could have said everybody in the barbies tell me has told me to this but i don't know your honor though i think so again daryn to your honor's point could have a clue did yes but i don't think it was unreasonable at all for the magistrate i think it was a commonsense conclusion and i understand you disagree but that with two people coming forward that that increases the risk of back or increases the probability of accuracy and reduces the risk  fabrication but we don't know if they were related unrelated know knew each other didn't know each other we don't your honor but that when that is combined though i think what is a political is that even from this kid court's decision and robinson and which it's stated that the fact that the person who did come fall in this case kyle peters was willing to identify himself this court found that significant and suggested that the person who came forward found credible information that they received and i think when we take into account that kyle peters did come forward and identify himself and in the court asked mr tass if you know what would his motive be certainly he did have a motive to make sure he'd have his liquor license but he also has a motive to ensure that his bar is safe and he doesn't want to falsely accuse a patron i don't think any reasonable business owner would want to do that so when we take that into account on top of two people coming forward to him that i think that is corroborative and then saying that it's in his waistline both of them so that specific and then we look at the circumstances under which the police had  could have they done a consensual encounter yes but that's not the inquiry that then korea is under what circumstances they had to act and we do have information of an ongoing crime late at night in a bar where there's alcohol people are not because they are felons it's strikes me that if you just say somebody has a gun in here and you don't know anything there's much less corroboration here than in robinson for sure and we acknowledge that in our or the reason we relied upon robinson was the point of taking this out of the context of j l to some extent because even robinson because the court noted that it was second hand information which we have in this case second and information but the two people that came forward were known to the police the person that came forward here was known to the police so when the police don't i mean it that that the problem is that the police don't know what kind of screen mr peters is using when he thinks of the information passed along by the customers he may since he's got the officer cell phone number have you know an indifferent attitude about all of you know let's get the police come check this out you know if there's nothing there everybody old go their merry way and if there is my bar is safe you know it i'm not sure that as they say rises to the level of reasonable suspicion again i think though the three circumstances and the totality and or stand the court's reservation but between mr peters coming forward which again dischord robinson found significant that someone was willing to come forward to forward the tip that came from two individuals and we believe that's corroborative and then under the circumstances of being in a club late at night where firearm possession is prohibited and your honour's that it is a  and it's a hobson's choice for the police i mean we can open up the paper every so often and find somebody who has shot somebody in a bar or perhaps more recently even shot himself in the leg with an was was understand that the bombs who went out found homes and said peters went to see him is that right or is it some other sequence no that's correct your honor it started with the bar owner kyle peters told the bouncer i tried to text officer holmes he hasn't responded go find him and he asked for holds my name so the bouncer went out found officer holmes among those five or six officers holmes and comes back and meets with kyle peterson so holmes and  peters are at least acquainted they know each other who least under they would say yeah right in that in that context that i believe that's limited to the children tag so i assume then that there are some in homes mind some credibility's who is with peters is that what you're trying to say or to say that that's where the credibility is i think that the credibility is twofold first that i mean primarily it's just that that peters is willing to identify himself to holmes why why would why would he not be happy to wait to identify himself to holmes i agree but i think that's part of the inquiry as opposed to him just calling and saying some things at the decorative factory and ok mislead the court that i don't know the relationship is anymore then holds patrols downtown and he has a number of borrowers phone numbers of the borrowers has his phone numbers for situations like this decal peters was willing to come forward to report these tips because state law would impose financial liability upon him in the risk of losing his liquor license if he didn't every bar owner that is going to report any rumor or any tip in any in endo to avoid being multiple for damages or being assessed these kinds of liabilities that all my law does secondly for diversity j o clearly holds supreme court said we're not creating a firearms exception here where there are tips about people with guns it doesn't relieve the officers of their responsibility to have reasonable suspicion based on particularized facts before an individual is seized and then searched within the constitutional confines of terry versus ohio so on these facts clearly the wooden decision and the robinson decision are clearly distinguishable and for these reasons we ask that the court reverse reman proceedings thank you thank you very much thanks to both counsel take the case centered
