My point(as a former MP & licensed security officer for nearly 20 years) is that GZ did not have probable cause to stop Martin or do a "field interview".
Police are not required to have either probable cause or even reasonable suspicion to approach someone and simply ask questions. Probable cause is completely irrelevant if a private citizen asks someone questions. They are not acting on behalf of the government and the Fourth Amendment does not apply.
