Getting a “call” about something where the caller identifies a crime like trespass or criminal damaging etc. officers don’t see the crime but get called. Is that hearsay or is it enough to detain and id?

Do you ever do followups on the officers you've trained to see if they've actually implemented these steps and guidelines you teach? Because that would be interesting.

And if you're teaching these nuanced methods to a bunch of barely high school graduate meatheads, good luck with that. Maybe switch from protecting cops to protecting private citizens. Now that's a channel worth subscribing to.

Many people demand from the officer what the "reasonable suspicion " is for having been stopped. Are officers required to explain the RS to a motorist?

Excellent question. While there is no requirement constitutionally to tell a person what the basis of the stop is, it may be good practice for an officer to do so for many different reasons. Depending on the jurisdiction, state, local or department policy may require it as well.

Unfortunately, officers are allowed to lie to the subject(s) of their investigations. Indeed, when using the Reid Technique of investigation, lying is integral to the interrogation and investigation. Hence, the subject cannot reliably conclude whether or not the officer has RAS for a detention or demand for ID until and unless the officer files a report relative to the investigation and any further police action thereon.
