The questioner is confusing the wording of two legal concepts. The proper legal usage of the terms is REASONABLE SUSPICION and PROBABLE CAUSE. Reasonable Suspicion is/are those circumstances which arouse the instincts of a trained law enforcement officer to believe that a crime has been, or is about to be committed. Probably Cause leads from Reasonable Suspicion and is developed when a trained law enforcement officer determines that there is enough cause to believe that a crime has been committed and the person whom he can identify, or has in custody, is the one who committed it.

∙ 15y agoIn the law there is no such thing as a "reasonbable belief." "Reasonable suspicion" is defined as a set of circumstances that would lead a reasonable or trained person to draw a logical conclusion that something is occurring or has occurred. Other than being an actual witness to an offense, reasonable suspicion is the chief element that leads to "probable cause." Once "probable cause is attained, there are legal grounds for action by law enforcement.
