"You can be briefly detained by police if they have reasonable suspicion that you committed a crime. Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1 (1968)" (us Supreme Court case)
Not merely a "suspicion" but a reasonable suspicion. If the High Court had simply said "suspicion," then there would be no such thing as a "false arrest"!
Dude... no one was arrested.
