The following excerpt is from Rodgers v. United States, 267 F.2d 79 (9th Cir. 1959):
"The troublesome line posed by the cases is one between mere suspicion and probable cause. That line necessarily must be drawn by an act of judgment formed in the light of the particular situation and with account taken of all the circumstances." Brinegar v. United States, supra, 338 U.S. at page 176, 69 S.Ct. at page 1311.
