If the citizen chooses to walk away, he can. Without reasonable suspicion of a crime the officer can’t impede him from going about his business. Refusal to speak to the officer can’t be used to build reasonable suspicion.

It depends. In a high-crime area (Baltimore City), fleeing the police upon sight is reasonable suspicion.

That’s why you don’t run. You walk.
