Two police officers board a bus during a stop over from another city. They wore
badges and insignia, and one of them was holding a zipper pouch containing a
pistol. Although they lacked express reasons for suspicion, the officers picked out
the defendant and asked to inspect his ticket and identification, which he gave to
them. These items were immediately returned to the defendant as unremarkable.

detain him or her long enough to dispel or build on the suspicion, but the suspect
does not have to answer any questions put to him or her by the police.
