ORDER
PER CURIAM
AND NOW, this 24th day of May, 2016, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is
GRANTED. The issue, as stated by Petitioner, is:
Did the Superior Court - in contravention of the United States
Supreme Court precedent and overwhelming supporting authority
from this Court, the Superior Court itself, and virtually every federal
and state court - err in holding that the Fourth Amendment does not
permit a member of a close group of officers working as a team to
act on the collective knowledge of that team, absent a directive or
instruction issued by an officer who possesses probable cause?
Justice Wecht did not participate in the consideration or decision of this matter.
