Investigatory Stop OK'd

U.S. v. Crespin, 2009 WL 1069167 (4/22/09) (unpub'd) - One of the factors establishing reasonable suspicion to conduct an investigatory stop: all the occupants of the minivan reacted to the officer's presence with an "oh crap look," as though they had something to hide. Also, they were all dressed like gang members and the officer thought he recognized a couple of them.
