Constructive restraint
restricting a suspect's liberty by means of a command (i.e., must state 'words of arrest manifesting the purpose of apprehending as suspect') & submission by the suspect to the command

A situation where a person is not physically restrained but is effectively prevented from leaving due to actions or words of a law enforcement officer, essentially creating a sense of being detained even without physical handcuffs or confinement; it is considered a form of 'custody' under Oregon law when used in the context of arrest or detention.
