In Anguiano, the COA held that an investigatory stop of a pedestrian was not supported by reasonable suspicion when the person only "semi-fit" the description of a person wanted on a felony warrant. The description of the suspect was: a Hispanic male, wearing a coat, and "dark type" green pants (Anguiano had on dark-colored, grayish-green pants and a coat). The best part- the stop occurred on St. Patrick's Day. So, the important thing to take from this case (other than the good Fourth Amendment law) is that you can't be detained on St. Patrick's Day for wearing green pants.
