Did the suspect attempt to run away when approached by the officer?

What will be an ideal response?


Sometimes, police will observe a subject who runs after seeing the officers. The United Supreme Court has addressed this and concludes that flight from contact with police officers provides an additional basis for conducting an investigative detention. In the U.S. Supreme Court case Illinois v. Wardlow (2000), it was determined that fleeing constitutes an additional factor for determining reasonable suspicion to conduct an investigative detention.
