Brandon L. Pritcher v. State of Indiana

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that no seizure occurred when four police officers, “all with guns and handcuffs showing and wearing identifiable MPD jackets and badges,” quickly exited police car and approached defendant
• finding that, in contrast to the present case, “police presence does not constitute a seizure where the officers did not use their siren or flashers”
• noting that police using a siren or flashers contributes to a show of authority
• observing “the presence of multiple officers does not automatically mean that a stop has occurred,” and explaining the police may “approach individuals and interact with them” without necessarily seizing them
• “[T]he fact that . . . officers [wear police] gear, including guns and handcuffs, does not mean that a stop occurred.”
