What is the difference between a police officer and a suspect in an investigation into suspicious movements?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Jiminez, 143 Cal.App.2d 671, 300 P.2d 68 (Cal. App. 1956):

The case of People v. Harvey, 142 Cal.App.2d 728, 299 P.2d 310, is quite distinguishable. In that case, the officers were proceeding with an arrest before the suspicious movements were made. Here, the arrest came later, after the investigation had produced ample cause for the arrest.
