Massachusetts Appeals Court September 29, 2009, No. 08-P-402 (Commonwealth v. Rodriguez)

Sikora, J.

Police have a suspected drug dealer under surveillance. They create two controlled purchases from him. In the first, they monitor his travel directly from the site of the purchase to his apartment. In the second, they follow his travel from the apartment directly to the site of the purchase. In neither instance did he stop at any intermediate location.
