reasonable articulable facts

Courts focus on:

1. specific
2. articulable
3. rational inferences

• Do not use "suspicious" when describing the activity. Suspicious is the conclusion based on facts.
• articulate facts that make an activity suspicious

with specific articulable facts, what can a rational officer (or citizen) infer?

Mental checklist:

1. What crime do you observe? What crime is about to be committed? Be very specific.
2. What facts do I see to support 1?
3. Take a step back, and ask yourself, "Is this more than a hunch?"

Note:

1. Facts cannot include observations made after the stop.
2. Suspicion must be individualized, not general (i.e., "high crime area").
