An example of a seizure to which the Fourth Amendment applies is when law enforcement officers stop and detain an individual without a warrant or probable cause, such as during a traffic stop. In this scenario, the individual’s freedom of movement is restricted, constituting a seizure under the Fourth Amendment. The officers must have reasonable suspicion of criminal activity to justify the stop; otherwise, it could be deemed an unlawful seizure.
