1. “No seizure within the context of the Fourth Amendment occurs when an officer approaches a parked vehicle if the officer inquires of the occupant in a conversational manner, does not order the person to do something, and does not demand a response. Not all citizen-law enforcement encounters implicate a citizen’s Fourth Amendment rights; a seizure occurs only when a law enforcement officer, by means of physical force or show of authority, in some manner restrains the liberty of a citizen.”

3. “[T]he burden is on the city to establish either a reasonable and articulable suspicion for the stop or some reasonable basis for treating the conduct as a proper “community caretaker contact.” Given the state of the record before it, the court cannot determine the basis for the contact with the defendant. On this basis it is the opinion of the Court that the City has failed to carry its burden of proof.”
