Is there any case law where a court found that a detention was made by a police officer?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Roth, 219 Cal.App.3d 211, 268 Cal.Rptr. 66 (Cal. App. 1990):
3 The trial court found: "[T]he officer was making some type of a detention. There can be no doubt about that because he issued a command to him." We accept the finding there was a command and, exercising our independent judgment, agree with the trial court there was a detention. (See People v. Bailey (1985) 176 Cal.App.3d 402, 406, 222 Cal.Rptr. 235; People v. Franklin (1987) 192 Cal.App.3d 935, 940, 237 Cal.Rptr. 840.)
