What is considered reasonable suspicion of involvement in criminal activity
Case Rating: *
In California, reasonable suspicion is a legal standard that allows law enforcement officers to stop and briefly detain a person if they have specific and articulable facts, based on their experience, that criminal activity may be occurring. It is more than a mere hunch but less than probable cause.
