A police officer arrives at a chaotic college party after a noise complaint. She stops a person leaving the party. The Fourth Amendment does not preclude her from:

An officer may approach someone and ask questions, including asking for identification, without violating the Fourth Amendment, as long as the person is free to decline and leave. Putting the person in the police car or searching their phone or bag would involve a detention or search that generally requires legal justification, such as reasonable suspicion, a warrant, or consent. The correct choice is asking for identification from the person.
