Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York April 15, 1985 (People v. Medina)

On the night of September 27, 1982, two police officers were patrolling the area of Vasquez Memorial Park in Suffolk County. The park had been officially closed since 1979, and unauthorized persons were considered trespassers subject to arrest. It was the object of numerous complaints, and was known to have a high incidence of illegal drug activity.
