What is the legal test for reasonable suspicion in the context of a criminal charge under the Civil Code of Civil Procedure?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Kennedy v. Los Angeles Police Dept., 901 F.2d 702 (9th Cir. 1990):

8 It is worth noting that, were we to depart from a reasonable suspicion standard for this part of the analysis, we would be required to construct a new level of cause. Reasonable suspicion, the standard for minor offenses, is the least protective constitutional standard. Because a felony denotes a more serious criminal classification, we would be forced to design a standard lower than reasonable suspicion. See United States v. Montoya de Hernandez, 473 U.S. 531, 540-41, 105 S.Ct. 3304, 3310-11, 87 L.Ed.2d 381 (1985) (rejecting "clear indication" as a "third verbal standard in addition to 'reasonable suspicion' and 'probable cause' " and noting that "subtle verbal gradations may obscure rather than elucidate the meaning of the provision in question").
