Syllabus
Information from a tip may provide the factual basis for an investigative stop. In evaluating whether the factual basis for a stop meets the legal standard of reasonable and articulable suspicion, we consider the totality of the circumstances. Where a known, or easily ascertainable, informant provides a greater quantity of information than a bare assertion of possible impaired or erratic driving, the officer need not personally observe, or corroborate, evidence of criminal activity in order to have reasonable suspicion to stop a vehicle.
