Is reasonable suspicion sufficient to satisfy the Fourth Amendment?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from United States v. Santillan, 902 F.3d 49 (2nd Cir. 2018):

In my view, looking to the totality of the circumstances, these grounds do not provide a basis for anything more than "an inchoate and unparticularized suspicion or hunch," and are insufficient to satisfy the Fourth Amendment. Illinois v. Wardlow , 528 U.S. 119, 124, 120 S.Ct. 673, 145 L.Ed.2d 570 (2000) (quotation marks omitted). Though we do not demand much to satisfy the reasonable suspicion standard, I disagree with my colleagues that this case falls just over the line into permissible territory.

[902 F.3d 65]
