totality of circumstances put everything together and analyze the whole picture
reasonable articulable facts
Courts focus on:
- specific
- articulable
- 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:
- What crime do you observe? What crime is about to be committed? Be very specific.
- What facts do I see to support 1?
- Take a step back, and ask yourself, "Is this more than a hunch?"
Note:
- Facts cannot include observations made after the stop.
- Suspicion must be individualized, not general (i.e., "high crime area").
