Defendant stopped and talked to a couple that police saw pacing on a parking lot. Police stopped him, and he was nervous. It was not reasonable suspicion that a drug deal was going to go down. Commonwealth v. Walton, 2013 PA Super 3, 2013 Pa. Super. LEXIS 3 (January 8, 2013).*
The stop was not overlong and unreasonable because reasonable suspicion developed. [The court uses unfortunate language that suggests the burden is on defendant: “Campbell has not provided sufficient evidence to support the conclusion that the duration of the stop was excessive.” The burden is on the government, and the appellate review is de novo. What is his burden on appeal? To show legal error.] United States v. Campbell, 2013 U.S. App. LEXIS 696, 2013 FED App. 0049N (6th Cir. January 9, 2013).*
The conversation after defendant’s papers were returned to him was consensual, and there was nothing that indicated that the conversation couldn’t be terminated. United States v. Chung Dam, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 184139 (M.D. Fla. November 16, 2012).*
