Supreme Court of Pennsylvania January 18, 2018, No. 19 EAP 2016 (Commonwealth v. Yong)

JUSTICE DONOHUE,

Dissenting

The Majority today announces a new rule that permits uncommunicated knowledge of one police officer to justify an arrest conducted .by another officer. In my view, the absence of a communication or directive by an officer with probable cause to the arresting officer renders the arrest unconstitutional.
