“An investigatory stop must be based on founded or reasonable suspicion that the vehicle's occupants committed, are committing or are about to commit a crime.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“The fact that a person takes flight upon the approach of a law enforcement officer is a statutory factor supporting an investigatory stop for loitering. § 856.021(2). I would hold that a brief stop is authorized under these circumstances. I realize that the police can abuse their discretion to investigate potential loitering violations, but any reasonable citizen should understand a police officer's decision to check on his or her actions briefly when that conduct is consistent with loitering.”
