More than an "idea" but less than "Probable Cause."

"It is an, as yet, unformed or unproven idea or thought that leads an individual to question a particular circumstance."

Can also be called: a gut feeling - a sixth sense - etc.)

Law enforcement officers, because of their training and experience, are generally held to a lower threshold of "mere suspicion" than ordinary civilians. Things which a civilian might pass off as inconsequential, law enforcement officers are trained to look for and react to.
