Glad to find an existing note!
To continue the discussion:
CRS 16-3-103 (1) states:
16-3-103. Stopping of suspect.
(1) A peace officer may stop any person who he reasonably suspects is committing, has committed, or is about to commit a crime and may require him to give his name and address, identification if available, and an explanation of his actions. A peace officer shall not require any person who is stopped pursuant to this section to produce or divulge such person's social security number. The stopping shall not constitute an arrest.
Is there any case law around this for OC?
Does mere open carry itself allow an LEO to "reasonably suspect" that you are about to commit a crime? And if merely "having the equipment" makes an LEO "reasonably suspect" you're about to commit a crime, does that mean any LEO can stop any male because he suspects that they're about to commit rape, and any female because they're about to hook? (flippant, but valid)
The key to the answer here is going to be case law around OC and Stop & ID, is there any?
People v. DF is a mixed bag and doesn't really help...
