FAQ

Reasonable suspicion is a step before probable cause. At the point of reasonable suspicion, it appears that a crime might have been committed. The situation escalates to probable cause when it becomes clear that a crime has most likely been committed.

For an arrest, probable cause means that officers must have enough evidence or information to reasonably believe that a person has committed a crime. This could stem from direct observation of the crime, such as witnessing a theft in progress, or from reliable information, like a credible eyewitness account.

So the victim's statement is one piece of evidence that will be considered in determining whether there is enough evidence, or probable cause, for law enforcement to make an arrest of the offender. The victim's statement could be compelling enough for an arrest.

Probable cause refers to a reasonable basis for believing that a crime may have been committed (for an arrest) or that evidence of a crime is present in the place to be searched (for a search).

Probable Cause/Reasonable Cause = Arrest Deputies must be able to articulate specific facts showing: Unusual or suspicious activity related to a criminal act; The suspect being arrested is directly involved in that criminal act; and. There is sufficient probability the person being arrested has committed that crime.

California Penal Code § 837 PC permits you to make a citizen's arrest if you witness a misdemeanor or felony crime or have reasonable cause to believe someone committed a felony. To do so, you must inform the person you are arresting and provide a reason for the arrest.
