Long after dark, Officer Randi Meade was on a uniformed routine foot patrol at the Dana Point Harbor when she turned the corner near a harbor motel and startled a man who had been standing next to the building

When the man recognized Randi Meade as a police officer, he turned and immediately began walking rapidly away from her. He was carrying a small plastic bag and was wearing a swimsuit with a polo shirt. When the subject heard Officer Meade order him to stop, he began to run toward the main road. Under the circumstances, Officer Meade A) cannot to force the man to stop and talk to her because there is no indication of any criminal behavior. B) may make an immediate arrest since unexplained flight from a police officer indicates the presence of probable cause to arrest. C) cannot lawfully order the man to stop so that she can check him out because there is no indication that he might be armed and/or pose any danger to the public. D) may chase, stop and arrest the man for running from a police officer and disobeying an order.
