Answer to Question 2

Probable cause is the standard or justification necessary to affect the arrest of an individual or that induces the belief in the minds of a reasonable officer that the accused probably committed a crime. It is lower than beyond a reasonable doubt, but higher than reasonable suspicion. Both probable cause and reasonable suspicion is not an exact science and ongoing case review continually review how to define these terms. Probable cause is required for all arrests, searches, and seizures made with warrants, but not required with all warrantless arrests. Probable cause requires analysis of the totality of the circumstances. Reasonable suspicion is the lowest of all legal standards, but allows for the authorization of an investigative detention. Terry v. Ohiois famously associated with reasonable suspicion. The Supreme Court has stated, the practice of field interrogation is constitutional when specific and articulable facts, which, taken together with rational inferences from those facts, reasonably warrant that intrusion.
