"Absent some coercive conduct by police, a request for cooperation or consent to search does not automatically convert an undeniably permissible encounter into an illegal seizure any more than the giving of Miranda warnings transforms a non-custodial setting into a custodial one."

The opinion
SCHILLER, Judge,
concurring.
I concur in the result. Because it is appellant’s burden to present an adequate record for appellate review, 1 and because the record submitted to this Court is clearly deficient, 2 we are powerless to grant appellant relief. Thus there is no basis upon which we can reverse the judgment of sentence entered by the Court of Common Pleas of Mercer County.
