Connecticut Supreme Court · 2016
State v. Edmonds
The encounter stops being consensual the moment your show of authority would make a reasonable person believe he cannot leave. Two cruisers converging on a small lot plus a command to stop crossed that line — and you need reasonable and articulable suspicion at THAT moment, not from what the person does next.
