Description
The issue in this case is whether Appellant's actions in stopping, talking to police, permitting police to enter her home and in surrendering a small quantity of drugs were objectively voluntary acts or mere acquiescence to police authority. The lower court determined that Appellant's acts were voluntary and denied her motion to suppress the drugs. We conclude, based upon the totality of the circumstances, that a reasonable person would have felt compelled to comply with the officers' requests, and that Appellant's encounter with police amounted to an unlawful seizure within the contemplation of the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Therefore, we reverse the order that denied Appellant's motion to suppress.
