What is the test for reasonable suspicion in a motor vehicle accident case?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Lewis, C081939 (Cal. App. 2017):

Under the reasonable suspicion standard, courts consider the totality of circumstances, allowing the officers on the scene "to draw on their own experience and specialized training to make inferences from and deductions about the cumulative information available to them . . . ." (United States v. Arvizu (2002) 534 U.S. 266, 273 [151 L.Ed.2d 740, 749-750]; Ledesma, supra, 106 Cal.App.4th at p. 863.)
