What is the test for a reasonable suspicion of assault?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Hernandez, 313 F.3d 1206 (9th Cir. 2002):

Furthermore, while the determination of reasonable suspicion is exceedingly fact-specific, the circumstances taken together must be evaluated as they would be "understood by those versed in the field of law enforcement." United States v. Cortez, 449 U.S. 411, 418, 101 S.Ct. 690, 66 L.Ed.2d 621 (1981). Such an approach allows officers "to draw on their own experience and specialized training to make inferences from and deductions about the cumulative information available to them that `might well elude an untrained person.'" Arvizu, 534 U.S. at 273, 122 S.Ct.
