Reasonable suspicion is a common standard used by police officers around the nation. When an officer stops someone courts require that the officer has either a search warrant, probable cause, or reasonable suspicion. Reasonable suspicion is less strict than probable cause but has very limited applications. It refers to a police officer’s reasonably justifiable suspicion that a person has recently committed a crime, is in the process of committing a crime, or is soon going to commit a crime.
