“When a police officer turns on his flashing blue lights and forces a motorist to stop, it is not a ‘voluntary’ encounter, Georgia’s Court of Appeals ruled last Wednesday. Under US Supreme Court precedent, police are free to approach anyone on a hunch and ask questions as long as the officer does not create the impression that the citizen is not free to leave. State prosecutors argued that Dryer’s stop fell into this category, and he could have freely driven away from the officer even though the patrol car’s blue lights were flashing.”
