Case No. 09-C-00898
South Central Judicial District, Burleigh County
Robert O. Wefald
Highlight
A stop or seizure occurs under the Fourth Amendment when a law enforcement officer has in some way restrained the liberty of a citizen, and the mere approach and questioning of a person in a parked vehicle may not constitute a stop or seizure.
Criteria for evaluating whether a stop or seizure has occurred include the threatening presence of several law enforcement officers, a display of a weapon by an officer, some physical touching of the citizen, or the use of language or tone of voice indicating that compliance with the officer's request is compelled.
To the extent prior precedent holds a Fourth Amendment stop or seizure occurs whenever a law enforcement officer taps on a window of a parked motor vehicle, that precedent is overruled.
Specifications of error in an administrative appeal must identify what matters are truly at issue with sufficient specificity to fairly apprise the agency, other parties, and the court of the particular errors claimed.
