Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by This case presents a serious question concerning the
application of K.S.A. 1973 Supp. 22-2402 (1) commonly referred to
as our "stop and frisk" statute, and the role of the Fourth
Amendment of the Federal Constitution in the confrontation
between a citizen in a public place and the policeman
investigating suspicious circumstances. Brigido Mesa (defendant-appellant) has appealed from a
conviction of resisting or opposing a police officer in the
discharge of his duties in violation of Garden City, Kansas,
Ordinance Section 20-15. Mesa was originally found guilty in
Garden City Municipal Court and sentenced to pay a $25 fine and
costs. On appeal to the district court the matter was determined
upon stipulation solely from the transcript taken in the
municipal court proceedings and briefs filed by the parties. The
district court found Mesa guilty as charged but suspended
sentence due to the surrounding circumstances. Mesa has duly
perfected an appeal.
