United States v. Mendenhallgreen
scotus · 1980 · cited in 1 Iowa opinions naming this issue, 2017–2017
2 sentences

2017The crucial test in determining whether a particular encounter rises to a seizure is whether “the police conduct would ‘have communicated to a reasonable person that he was not at liberty to ignore the police presence and go about his business.’” Id. at 437; see also Mendenhall, 446 U.S. at 554 (holding “a person has been ‘seized’ within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment only if, in view of all of the circumstances surrounding the incident, a reasonable person would have believed that he was not free to leave”).

2017When conducting this analysis, “[e]xamples of circumstances that might indicate a seizure, even where the person did not attempt to leave, would be the threatening presence of several officers, the display of a weapon by an officer, some physical touching of the person of the citizen, or the use of language or tone of voice indicating that compliance with the officer's request might be compelled.” Mendenhall, 446 U.S. at 554 .

United States, 397 U.S. 742 , 90 S.Ct. 1463 , 25 L.Ed.2d 747 (1970), in which it was held that the mere fact that a defendant pleaded guilty to a lesser charge in order to avoid a possibly heavier sentence if he were to be found guilty after a trial by jury was not sufficient to establish that his guilty plea was coerced and therefore invalid.
