Affirmed. See Graham v. State, 714 So. 2d 1142, 1143 (Fla. 1st DCA 1998)
(“To have a reasonable suspicion . . . , ‘the detaining officers must have a
particularized and objective basis for suspecting the particular person stopped of
criminal activity’ based upon ‘the totality of the circumstances.’”) (quoting United
States v. Cortez, 449 U.S. 411, 417-18, 101 S. Ct. 690, 695, 66 L. Ed. 2d 621 (1981));
see also D.P. v. State, 65 So. 3d 123, 128 (Fla. 3d DCA 2011) (“Unlike a ‘truly
anonymous’ tipster, the [informant] in the instant case did not simply make an
anonymous phone call. Rather, [the informant] provided [the] information on the
scene, in a face-to-face encounter with the officer, in the presence of [the
appellant].”).
