, -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. However, the two police officers
then explained that they were narcotics agents on the lookout for illegal
drugs and asked the defendant's consent to search his luggage. They
specifically advised the defendant that he had the right to refuse consent.
The search uncovered a quantity of cocaine in one of the defendant's
suitcases. The defendant was arrested and charged with trafficking in
cocaine. The Supreme Court held that - -the actions of the two officers were
lawful and no reasonable suspicion was required because the defendant
gave his consent to the search

objective grounds for detaining the person. If the police officer is not armed
with reasonable suspicion of criminal activity, the person approached need

listen to the questions at all and leave. When the officer has reasonable
