What is the reasonable suspicion standard used by police in cases of mistaken identity?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Williams, C078391 (Cal. App. 2016):

Under the reasonable suspicion standard, courts must evaluate the totality of circumstances on a case-by-case basis, allowing the officers on the scene to draw on their own experience and training to make inferences from and deductions about the cumulative information available to them. (United States v. Arvizu (2002) 534 U.S. 266, 273-274 [151 L.Ed.2d 740, 749-750] (Arvizu); People v. Ledesma (2003) 106 Cal.App.4th 857, 863 (Ledesma).)
