On February 28, 2026, an officer working a Florida high-crime patrol observed a subject who, upon seeing the marked patrol vehicle with emergency lights activated, ran three separate times. During the foot pursuit, she removed her jacket and threw it over a fence — inside was a crack-pipe stem. Thirteen minutes later, she faced three Florida charges: loitering and prowling, possession of drug paraphernalia, and resisting officer without violence. In this analysis, we examine the Wardlow reasonable-suspicion framework for unprovoked flight in high-crime areas, the Hodari D. abandonment doctrine for evidence discarded during flight, the two-element structure of Florida's loitering statute under § 856.021, and the proper Miranda timing for post-arrest custodial interrogation. ⚖️ LEGAL AUTHORITIES CITED - Illinois v. Wardlow (2000) — Unprovoked flight = reasonable suspicion - California v. Hodari D. (1991) — Abandonment doctrine - Graham v. Connor (1989) — Force reasonableness - Miranda v.
