The DoJ also always uses a made up term called “Reasonable Cause”

In policing you have “reasonable suspicion” or “probable cause.”

Reasonable suspicion means the police officer has or can articulate enough facts continue to investigate further. Probable cause means the policeman has enough facts to arrest you and charge you with a crime.

Reasonable cause is some b.s. mish mash of those two terms and means nothing.

Great Point... the LEGAL standard MUST remain PROBABLE CAUSE !!.. for so many reasons.. this is a HIGHER standards than Reasonable Cause.. because “reasonable” is far more subjective whereas PROBABLE is far LESS subjective and requires substantive EVIDENCE to reach that standard.
