Strickland v. State

How courts have described this case

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

• “[DJuring the course of [a detention without a particularized and objective basis for suspecting criminal activity], a citizen is free to ignore requests and/or to walk away, and ... no charge of obstruction [will] lie....”
• when defendant was subjected to unlawful stop, not an unlawful arrest, defendant’s act of committing battery against officer was not justified and the battery thus “provided an independent basis for [his] further detention, rendering his apprehension lawful”
• for the offense of simple battery against a police officer, legislature could have required proof that officer was in lawful discharge of official duties, but did not do so; “[u]nder the rules of statutory construction, the omitted language cannot be deemed meaningless”
