See State v. Reinders, 690 N.W.2d 78, 82-83 (Iowa 2004) (rejecting the defendant&#8217;s claim he was seized because \u2018no reasonable individual would have felt free to simply walk away and refuse to answer the officer&#8217;s questions\u2019). Although the officers were in uniform and a marked police vehicle, Officer Wilson simply called to Brown by name and asked him questions. There was no show of authority, no intimidation, and no use of physical force by the officers during the encounter. Accordingly, the district court properly denied Brown&#8217;s motion to suppress.\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iowacourts.gov\/About_the_Courts\/Court_of_Appeals\/Court_of_Appeals_Opinions\/Recent_Opinions\/20150923\/14-0667.pdf\">State v.
