Among the circumstances that may be considered in determining <br />whether alarm is warranted is the fact that the person takes flight upon the appearance of a police <br />officer, refuses to identify himself or herself or endeavors to conceal himself or herself or an <br />object. <br /> <br />(3) Authority to detain. A police officer may stop and briefly detain a person suspected of violating <br />division (A)(1) above if the personÓs behavior reasonably causes suspicion of criminal activity. <br />The officerÓs reasonable suspicion must be based on objective, articulable facts and reasonable <br />inferences drawn from all the circumstances surrounding the personÓs behavior. <br /> <br />(4) Opportunity to dispel alarm. <br /> <br />(a) Unless flight by the person or other circumstances make it impracticable, a police officer <br />must, prior to any arrest for a violation of division (A)(1) above, allow the person an <br />opportunity to dispel any alarm which would otherwise be warranted by requesting him <br />to identify himself or herself and explain his or her presence and conduct. The person <br />may identity himself or herself by presenting any of the following: <br />1. A state-issued identification card or driver's license containing the personsÓ <br />photograph; <br /> <br />2.
