What is the minimum standard of proof needed for a supplemental order to a target specific order?

The minimum standard of proof required for a supplemental order to a target-specific order is the standard of reasonable suspicion. This standard is lower than probable cause and is often used in situations where there is a need for a preliminary assessment based on available evidence suggesting that a particular target may be involved in criminal activity.

Reasonable suspicion allows law enforcement and relevant authorities to act on the basis of objective facts and circumstances that could lead a reasonable person to believe that a crime may be afoot. This standard enables authorities to obtain additional surveillance or investigative measures without requiring the higher burden of proof tied to probable cause, which demands clear evidence that a crime has occurred or is occurring.

In practice, this means that before pursuing further investigative actions like obtaining a supplemental order, there must simply be a reasonable basis for suspicion rather than definitive proof. This facilitates timely law enforcement actions while still requiring some level of justification based on observable facts.
