5 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the concurrencee.g. State v. Sierra · State v. Menke“[I]n justifying the particular intrusion the police officer must be able to point to specific and articulable facts which taken together with rational inferences from those facts, reasonably warrant that in-trusion_ [I]n making that assessment it is imperative that the facts be judged against an objective standard.... Anything less would invite intrusions upon constitutionally guaranteed rights based on nothing more substantial than inarticulate hunches, a result this Court has consistently refused to sanction.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the concurrencee.g. State v. Talbot · State v. Sery““a request for identification cannot constitute a show of authority sufficient to convert an innocent encounter into a seizure. Only when police have in some way restrained the liberty of an individual, either by force or a show of authority, is there a ‘seizure’ within the meaning of the fourth amendment.””
