D.C. police search of teen was illegal, appeals court rules
appeal from B1
T.L. called out, “Hey, Elliott,
what’s up?” The group dispersed, but T.L. remained as Elliott asked him, “You got any drugs or guns on [you]?” T.L. answered, “Yo, Officer El-
liott, you know me. I ain’t got no drugs or guns. . . . Go ahead and search me.” Elliott did. He found two “wads” of cash totaling $974 in the teen’s coat and pants pockets. Elliott seized the cash, telling T.L. that he was taking it because they were in a high drug-trafficking
area and it was “a large amount of currency to have on your per- son.”
If T.L. could produce a pay stub, Elliott told him, he “pos- sibly” could get the cash back af- ter it was processed at the police station. T.L. began calling for his moth- er and yelling: “They’re taking my money. I work at McDonald’s. I got that money working for Mc- Donald’s.” Between 10 and 15 people came out of their townhouses to see what was happening. To the officer, the gathering

The District Department of
Transportation has decided to delay the change in the traffic pattern at New York and Florida avenues NE until June 11. The department had planned
to make the change Friday night but announced Thursday that it needs to finish adusting the traffic-signal timing and make other technical modifications. Weather permitting, the new plan will take effect at 9 p.m. on June 11. It will create a circular traffic pattern around the Wendy’s restaurant at the busy intersection, which also includes First Street and Eckington Place. The reconfiguration of the
intersection, a $3 million project intended to improve circulation and safety, is scheduled to be done in August. The transportation department said it will announce the final traffic pattern at that time.
Meanwhile, here’s what to
expect: First Street NE will become one-way southbound from Florida Avenue to New York Avenue. Florida Avenue will be limited to one-way traffic westbound between O and First streets NE. Eastbound Florida Avenue traffic will be detoured to First

Northbound First Street traffic heading for westbound New York or Florida avenues will be temporarily detoured via M and Third streets NE. Southbound Eckington Place traffic will no longer be allowed to turn left on Florida Avenue. Eckington traffic will use First Street to reach New York Avenue and eastbound Florida Avenue.

crowd was a potential threat. He testified that the growing num- ber of people could be incited and harm bystanders, officers and the teen. Elliott said he considered it “very dangerous” to draw a crowd, “especially in Sursum Cor-
da.” Elliott repeatedly told T.L. to quiet down, and when he didn’t, he arrested him for disorderly conduct. A search followed, and police found the bags of crack co- caine in T.L.’s pants, according to court papers. In explaining the reason for the arrest, the officer and pros- ecutors pointed to a part of the disorderly conduct statute that covers noise or shouts inside or outside a building during the night that annoy or disturb a “considerable number” of people. The appeals court rejected that argument, saying T.L. did not
urge the peaceful crowd to in- terfere. T.L. might have been an- noying to his neighbors, but “there is no evidence they were hostile or likely to become vio- lent,” so the rationale for his ar- rest was wrong. Because police had no reason to arrest him, the search that followed was illegal, it said. T.L. was adjudicated as in- volved — the juvenile court equivalent of guilty — on the dis- orderly conduct and drug charg- es.

Picnics up and down the banks. And all day long, brazen young men had been diving into the river, fighting its swift current to get back to shore.
Olga and Emily weren’t doing
any of that, witnesses told the rescuers. They were picnicking on the sandy shores until the ball they were tossing fell into the water. The 35-year-old mother, an American citizen who was born in Peru, waded carefully out toward the ball.
But she slipped and the vicious
current grabbed hold of her. And though it is usually in
reverse, a parent sacrificing to protect a child, the 13-year-old girl dived in after her mother. It was a matter of seconds

before both were quickly swept away, pulled from the grasp of the husband and father who also went in and tried to grab them. But they were already gone, witnesses told rescuers. “It was wild. At one point, we thought we had four people in the water,” said Lt. Thomas Cleveland, one of the rescuers who was on the scene, with his fire-engine-red helmet and life vest, and in the water 10 minutes after someone on the shore called 911. The Memorial Day call was the worst kind that Cleveland responds to, the kind where the fatalities are doubled — often even tripled — because loved

And while the rescue teams were in their boats, cutting against the current, searching the swirling waters, the family members along the bank were crying, screaming, holding back. Rescuers were begging them not to jump in, too, they told me. Rescuers found one body
Wednesday and pulled a second body from the water Thursday, about 11
⁄2 miles from the spot
where a daughter tried to go help her mom. “I don’t think either of them could swim. That’s usually the
case,” said Miller, who was one of the rescuers on the scene for three hours Monday night, trying to find the mother and daughter in the water. And even as the helicopters chopped overhead and the family cried, the guys on the other bank kept diving, even as Cleveland and the other firefighters screamed for them to get out of the water. “That wasn’t a language thing.
They told me right back in English that they didn’t want to get out,” Miller said.

woman for the service, said the office does not comment on ap- peals cases. The appeals court’s decision
outraged the union representing D.C. officers. “At some point, police have to be allowed to be the police,” said Kristopher Baumann, head of the labor committee for the local Fra- ternal Order of Police. “The Dis- trict of Columbia is never going to get a handle on crime if appel- late judges keep substituting their view of what is safe or un- safe in high-drug areas.”
