Probable cause and reasonable suspicion differ in the degree of certainty and are used in different situations. Explain the differences in degree of certainty and the situations in which the different levels of proof are required
What will be an ideal response?
Probable cause and reasonable suspicion differ in degree of certainty, in that
probable cause is practically defined as "more likely than not," while reasonable
suspicion is practically defined as "less certain than probable cause, but more than
mere suspicion.". Probable cause is sufficient for arrest and for a warrant, while
reasonable suspicion is not sufficient for either an arrest or for a warrant.
Reasonable suspicion is sufficient for stop and frisk.
