1. “‘“In reviewing reasonable suspicion determinations, courts must look at the “ ‘totality of the circumstances’ ” to see whether the detaining officer had a “‘particularized and objective' basis’” for suspecting wrongdoing. United States v. Arvizu, 534 U.S. 266, 273 , 122 S.Ct. 744 , 151 L.Ed.2d 740 (2002), quoting United States v. Cortez, 449 U.S. 411, 417-418 , 101 S.Ct. 690 , 66 L.Ed.2d 621 (1981)). “This process allows officers to draw on their own experience and specialized training to make inferences from and deductions about' the cumulative information available to them that ‘might well elude an untrained person.’ ” Arvizu, 534 U.S. at 273 , 122 S.Ct. 744 (quoting Cortez, 449 U.S. at 418 , 101 S.Ct. 690 ).’ ””

Ohio, 392 U.S. 1 , 88 S.Ct. 1868 ; 20 L.Ed.2d 889 (1968), held that “a police officer may, in appropriate circumstances and in ah appropriate manner, approach a person for purposes of investigating possible criminal behavior even though there is no probable cause to make an arrest.” - 392 U.S. at 22 , 88 S.Ct. at 1880 . The standard for allowing a Terry stop is whether there is a reasonable suspicion that “the person being stopped has engaged in some type of criminal activity.” Webb v. State, 500 So.2d 1280, 1281 (Ala.Crim.App.), cert. denied, 500 So.2d 1282 (Ala.1986).’ ””
