The correct answer is:
• With probable cause, there is actual knowledge that a crime has been committed; with reasonable suspicion, there is not actual knowledge.
Probable cause requires a higher level of belief and evidence, indicating that a crime has likely occurred, while reasonable suspicion is based on specific facts that lead to a belief that a crime may be occurring or is about to occur, but without definitive proof.
