Utah Reasonable Suspicion is a type of legal standard in the state of Utah that can be used by police officers when making an arrest. It is a lower standard than probable cause and is used to establish reasonable grounds for suspicion that an individual has committed a crime or is about to commit a crime. The legal standard for Utah Reasonable Suspicion is described in Utah Code Ann. § 77-7-15. There are three distinct types of Utah Reasonable Suspicion: 1) Specific and articulate facts: A police officer must have specific and articulate facts that suggest that a suspect is engaged in criminal activity. 2) Rational inferences: A police officer must be able to rationally infer that the suspect is engaged in criminal activity based on the specific and articulate facts that have been presented. 3) Consideration of the totality of the circumstances: When determining whether reasonable suspicion exists, a police officer must consider all the circumstances of the suspect’s actions. To meet the legal standard of Utah Reasonable Suspicion, the facts presented must be sufficient to give an officer a reasonable belief that a crime has been committed or is about to be committed.
