Not exactly a new thing.
“Resonable Suspicion” is a lower threshold than “Probable Cause”.

Reasonable suspicion of a crime. You need to say the whole thing.
The number of cops that thinks “I’ve got reasonable suspicion of you being suspicious.” Has always been too goddamn high. You need reasonable suspicion OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. Being suspicious isn’t a crime. Being black or Latino in a subway station isn’t a crime. Even stop and identify laws need to be based in reasonable suspicion of a crime because the 4th amendment demands it.

That is why cops have Terry Stops that allow them to fill in the reason as whatever and the judge always sides with the cops
