MUJI 2d CV1307
Reasonable Suspicion.
Reasonable suspicion means the officer was aware of specific facts that would lead a reasonable officer to conclude that the person in question committed a crime. The level of suspicion required for reasonable suspicion is considerably less than proof of wrongdoing by a preponderance of the evidence. But reasonable suspicion requires something more than a mere guess or hunch.
Whether an officer has reasonable suspicion is evaluated objectively under all of the circumstances known to the officer.
