Reasonable Suspicion Field Notes
Case & stop information
Stop location & driving pattern markers
Click the map to place the stop location yourself, or use "Use my location." If useful, mark where specific driving behaviors were observed.
Nothing here saves or prints until you confirm it — this is your verified location, not a system guess.
No stop location confirmed yet.
Subject & vehicle
Basis for the stop — observed factors
Check every specific, articulable fact actually observed. Avoid relying on conclusions alone ("seemed suspicious") — the specific fact is what a court weighs.
Tip / informant information
Officer training & experience basis
0 / 4 factors
Tying an observation to specific training/experience carries far more weight than a bare assertion of "training and experience."
Frisk / pat-down
0 / 7 factors
A frisk requires its own, independent reasonable suspicion that the person is armed and dangerous — separate from the reasonable suspicion that justified the stop itself.
Detention duration & scope
Outcome
TC Score — reasonable suspicion snapshot
Based on totality of the circumstances — stop basis, tip corroboration, and training/experience are weighted equally; no single category is required. Frisk justification is scored separately, since it's a distinct constitutional question from the stop itself. For your own investigative reference only — this does not print and is not part of the case record.
