What is the test for reasonable suspicion in a search and seizure?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Bye, 990 F.2d 1261 (9th Cir. 1993):

A seizure or investigatory stop must be justified by "a particularized and objective basis for suspecting the particular person stopped of criminal activity." United States v. Thomas, 863 F.2d 622, 625 (9th Cir.1988) (citations omitted). In determining whether a seizure was justified by reasonable suspicion, we must consider the "totality of the circumstances--the whole picture." United States v. Hernandez-Alvarado, 891 F.2d 1414, 1416 (9th Cir.1989) (citations omitted).
