b. whenever a police officer accosts an individual and restrains his or her freedom to walk away, he has "seized" that person
c. a stop is not a serious intrusion upon the sanctity of the person and maybe taken lightly.
d. the personal security and privacy of the individual always outweigh the government's interests in detecting crime.
