DE: Flight from a consensual encounter in a high crime area was RS

Defendant’s stop in a high crime area was consensual. Defendant, however, was acting like he was checking for a gun on his person, and then he fled. That gave the officers reasonable suspicion. Loat v. State, 2017 Del. LEXIS 70 (Feb. 22, 2017).

The stop was for speeding, but the officer impermissibly extended the stop without reasonable suspicion. The trial court erred in not suppressing. State v. Campbell, 2017 Iowa App. LEXIS 170 (Feb. 22, 2017).*
