Many people don't realize that police can't stop anyone they want just because of a generalized suspicion. There are clear legal standards. Officers may briefly detain a person for investigative purposes only if the officer has reasonable suspicion that criminal activity is occurring. Reasonable suspicion is a step below the probable cause necessary for an arrest. Reasonable suspicion requires more than being in a high-crime area or acting furtive in front of police
