Define mere suspicion, reasonable suspicion, and probable cause.
What will be an ideal response?
Mere suspicion is equivalent to a "gut feeling." Reasonable suspicion is more than a gut feeling, and includes the ability to articulate reasons for the suspicion. Probable cause is the amount of proof necessary for a reasonably intelligent person to suspect that a crime has been committed or that items connected with criminal activity can be found in a particular place.
