Final answer:
In order to justify an investigatory stop, the officer is required to identify reasonable suspicion for the conclusion that the person is engaged in or about to engage in criminal activity.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order for an officer to justify an investigatory stop under the Reasonable Suspicion law, they are required to identify reasonable suspicion for the conclusion that the person is engaged in or about to engage in criminal activity.
This requirement is based on the ruling in Terry v. Ohio, where the Supreme Court held that police may stop a person if they have a reasonable suspicion that the person has committed or is about to commit a crime.
To meet the standard of reasonable suspicion, the officer must have specific and articulable facts that, when considered together with rational inferences, would lead a reasonable officer to suspect criminal activity.
