It is not known as "The Burden of Proof" it is known as "PROBABLE CAUSE." Probable cause is a standard used in justifying certain police actions. For example, police need to have probable cause to believe that evidence of a crime exists. It is more than mere suspicion but less than the amount of evidence required for conviction. (e.g.- A police officer may have probable cause to believe that there is the possibility of criminal activity when someone is encountered trespassing on private property late at night wearing a stocking mask, in order to justify stopping and searching the person for possession of criminal tools.)
