Abstract
This note examines the United Supreme Court decision which reexamined the point at which a police-citizen encounter becomes a seizure under the Fourth Amendment. The Court concluded that a police-citizen encounter becomes a seizure only when the citizen yields to the show of police authority. The author contends that the Court's definition of a seizure alters, if not disposes of, the former definition, which defined seizure as the point at which a reasonable person, faced with a show of authority, no longer feels free to leave.
