What constitutes a consensual sexual encounter?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Ramirez, D049922 (Cal. App. 12/19/2007), D049922 (Cal. App. 2007):
The encounter is consensual if a reasonable person would feel free to disregard the police and go about his or her business. Only when the officer, by means of physical force or show of authority, in some manner restrains the individual's liberty, does a seizure occur. (Florida v. Bostick, supra, 501 U.S. at p. 434.)
