Perez v. Borough of Johnsonburg

Submitted by Re'Neisha Stevenson on Wed, 08/16/2023 - 11:01

Officer did not seize suspect, despite fact that officer intended to arrest suspect; officer neither touched nor applied physical force to suspect, and suspect did not submit to officer's show of authority, but instead suspect promptly disengaged from the conversation and jogged across the street; exchanges between officers and citizens involving no coercion or detention are not seizures and do not implicate the Fourth Amendment.
