2. “To justify temporary detention of a person, there must be a "founded" suspicion in the mind of the police officer that the person has committed, is committing, or is about to commit a crime. A "founded" suspicion is one which has some factual foundation in the circumstances observed by she [sic] officer when those circumstances are interpreted in light of the officer's knowledge. Mere suspicion... is ... random selection, sheer guesswork, or a hunch; it has no objective justification.”
