What is the difference between probable cause and reasonable suspicion? (1 point)

Question

• A search warrant can only be issued with reasonable suspicion.
With probable cause, there is actual knowledge that a crime has been committed; with reasonable suspicion, there is not actual knowledge.
Reasonable suspicion is actual knowledge that a crime has been committed, and probable cause means that a crime has probably been committed.
Probable cause is the level of evidence schools need, but police need to have reasonable suspicion

Answer 1

The correct statement is: With probable cause, there is actual knowledge that a crime has been committed; with reasonable suspicion, there is not actual knowledge.

Probable cause is a higher standard of evidence that law enforcement must meet to obtain a search warrant or make an arrest, indicating that there is a reasonable belief that a crime has been committed. Reasonable suspicion, on the other hand, is based on specific and articulable facts that lead to the belief that a crime may be occurring, but it does not require actual knowledge of a crime.
