Answer 1

With probable cause, there is actual knowledge that a crime has been committed and there is enough evidence to support a belief that the suspect has committed the crime. Reasonable suspicion, on the other hand, is a lower standard of belief or suspicion that a crime has occurred or is about to occur based on specific and articulable facts. It is a more general or initial level of suspicion, often used by law enforcement to justify a stop or detention of an individual.
