I am a fairly new LEO, and I was going through my statute book, and I read that no reasonable suspicion is required to have a "concensual encounter" with a citizen. This is fine, however, the statute book states that, "if reasonable suspicion is developed as a result of such an encounter, the officer may continue the investigation, and if PC is developed, may make an arrest."
If a habitual drug dealer is speaking to me, then turns and runs, does his not qualify as reasonable suspicion for me? My Corporal says no, but the book indicates otherwise. Any thoughts from veteran LEO's? Thanks.
