Answer 1

Reasonable suspicion often requires the totality of circumstances, which can include:

a. Location of police officer’s contact with the suspect
b. Suspect matching the description of the suspect as advertised from credible sources
c. Suspect’s behavior

The suspect's racial and ethnic features should not be a factor in determining reasonable suspicion, as using race or ethnicity alone can lead to profiling and is not considered a legitimate basis for suspicion under legal standards.
