Reasonable Suspicion - ANSWERSis a reasonable presumption that a crime has been, is being, or will be
committed. It is a reasonable belief based on facts or circumstances and is informed by a police officer's
training and experience. Reasonable suspicion is seen as more than a guess or hunch but less than
probable cause.
probable cause - ANSWERSis the logical belief, supported by facts and circumstances, that a crime has
been, is being, or will be committed.

committing or may be about to commit a crime, and that the suspect is armed and dangerous, may

based on "Specific and articulable facts" not just a hunch.
