public places and putting questions to them if they are willing to listen. . . . Even when law enforcement officers have no basis for suspecting a particular individual, they may pose questions, ask for identification, and request consent to search . . . provided they do not induce cooperation by coercive means. . . . If a reasonable person would feel free to terminate the encounter, then he or she has not been seized." (United States v. Drayton (2002) 536 U.S. 194, 200-201.)

(Id. at p. 197.)

"'[A]n officer may, consistent with the Fourth Amendment, conduct a brief, investigatory stop when the officer has a reasonable, articulable suspicion that criminal activity is afoot.
