People State New York v. Ritso Davis

Hackett, a uniformed patrolman of the Housing Department Police, was conversing with a fellow officer on the sidewalk in front
of their office on Marcy Avenue, Brooklyn, a high crime area where there were complaints and arrests for dangerous drugs,
when he observed defendant about 10 feet distant, holding a woman's red and white polka dot purse, about two by three inches
in size with a zipper top. Defendant opened the zipper halfway and withdrew matches.
