That’s not at all what it means. They don’t even need reasonable suspicion as an excuse if they witness a crime in progress, they just call that “arrest.”
They can search your car under “reasonable suspicion” if it’s messy. That’s the whole flashlight thing they do, to check your back seat before the front. It’s basically a quick check if you might have drugs or weapons. But if your car is messy enough they can’t tell, they might ignore it or they might search it. Reasonable suspicion is so broad that as long as they can argue their point, it’s accepted. In this case, a man who allegedly murdered someone would automatically be reasonable suspicion that he might have the weapon on him.
reasonable suspicion means active crime.
