Consensual Encounters vs. Seizures
from The Tactical In-Service Hosted by Erik Scramlin
Episode 4: Consensual Encounters vs. Seizures A person is seized within the meaning of the 4th Amendment when a reasonable person would believe they are not free to leave. Does an officer need a justification to approach private individuals on the street to ask questions? Does asking for an ID make it a seizure under the 4th Amendment? In this Episode, I discuss consensual encounters and a recent New Mexico Court of Appeals decision. State v. Ramey, 2020-NMCA-041 - https://casetext.com/case/state-v-ramey-94 Podcast available on iTunes, Spotify and all major podcast apps.
