I can see that he tried a new idea to help his students, but I can see that it worked for the student who were advanced in their lessons. For the implication for the students I think that the teacher will find new instructions to help the student learn

    The contact with Ken is lawful because the cop who went after him could have been passing by and not even acknowledging Ken for any reason. When someone is trying to avoid contact with you it does not take training from the police academy to tell so there is suspicion already then when she gets passed him he runs suspicion is even higher at this time. It is not illegal for someone to run in public but when you are acting suspiciously as Ken was then it does call attention to yourself.

This is not like the Terry v. Ohio case were the officer had no information that the men that were walking back and forth were matching the description of a possible suspect for a crime as Ken was.…
