Does the existence of a database report provide reasonable suspicion to a police officer?

"New York", United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Hinshaw, 132 N.Y.S.3d 90, 156 N.E.3d 812, 35 N.Y.3d 427 (N.Y. 2020):

9 Although the dissent recognizes that it is the contents, rather than the mere existence, of a database report that may supply reasonable suspicion (dissenting op. at 459, 132 N.Y.S.3d at 11314, 156 N.E.3d at 83536, citing People v. Bushey, 29 N.Y.3d 158, 160, 53 N.Y.S.3d 604, 75 N.E.3d 1165 [2017] ), the dissent relies on Bushey for the proposition that the contents of the report here stating that the vehicle should not be treated as stolen and that no further action should be taken supplied at least reasonable suspicion. That misunderstands our holding in Bushey ; there, unlike here, the contents of the database report supplied the officer with probable cause of a traffic infraction before the stop of the defendant's vehicle (id. ).
