Does a criminal history warrant reasonable suspicion?
Reasonable suspicion is a Fourth Amendment constitutional standard that can be based on multiple factors. Stemming from the 1961 landmark case in Terry v. Ohio, a police officer may only stop, seize or otherwise detain a person if that officer can point to specific and articulable facts that the person seized has, is, or will violate the law. Specific facts don't have to be legal violations themselves and are often only tenuously related to any potential legal violations. Courts often cite time of day, whether the person stopped is in a "high crime area," and whether a person appears nervous as factors supporting reasonable suspicion for a stop. Reasonable suspicion cannot be based on a mere hunch of the officer. Generally, an officer's knowledge that someone has a criminal record would not in and of itself rise to reasonable suspicion for a stop. However, in combination with other factors, such as proximity to another crime, or other "suspicious" behavior, criminal record can be relevant in determining whether reasonable suspicion for a stop. Ultimately, any such question will be up to a judge who reviews whether a reasonable police officer under the totality of the circumstances had sufficient facts to believe the person stopped had or was violating the law.

How much evidence is needed to show probable cause?
Probable cause requires a reasonable belief that a crime has been committed or that evidence of a crime is present in a specific location. The evidence does not need to meet the level of proof beyond a reasonable doubt, but it must be more than mere suspicion or speculation. Typically, law enforcement officers must present facts or circumstances that would lead a reasonable person to conclude that a crime is likely occurring or has occurred. The determination of probable cause is often made by a judge or magistrate based on the totality of the circumstances.
Can any judge give you permission to leave state?

The judge will consider the request based on the specifics of the case and any potential impact on legal obligations or responsibilities. Ultimately, the decision is at the discretion of the judge.
