context: Vargas-Miranda chose to approach the officer and begin a conversation. Under the totality of these circumstances, a reasonable person in Vargas-Miranda's position would have believed he was free to refuse the officer's requests for information and continue on with his travel, and a reasonable officer would believe this defendant was voluntarily cooperating with the officer's requests. Vargas-Miranda was not unlawfully seized when he responded to Deputy Sheriff Brown's request to produce his drivers license and the vehicle information.
