Comment Why do I have to ask? (Score 1) 509

Can't I just start to walk away? If the officer says "you are not free to go", then I'm being detained.
My point is the presumption shouldn't be that I am being detained, it should be that I'm a free citizen.
Further, if I'm not being violent and I'm compliant after being detained, the officer's first action should be required to be to explain under what statute/authorization they are detaining me.
