We use reasonable suspicion everyday. The lawbreakers understand it completely and the people we mistakenly talk to understand it also when we are investigating a crime. We explain ourselves, appologize and go on our way, (insert the stupid cop story here). The "illegal" people are just trying their case/problem in the court of public concern. I once was in court standing adjacent to a trooper who was asked at at sidebar hearing by the publically appointed attorney asked the trooper if he gave/read the brazilian guy his rights. Trooper said no I didn't. I don't have too. He is not a citizen of this country. I let him use the phone, but said nothing else to him. With that the trooper stated verbatim the first paragraph of the constitution. The judge got up and siad I have to think about this for a little while, I'll be right back.
Judge came back and said while the trooper was probably right we'll give the guy a break.
