It's not "probable cause" any longer, but "
articulable suspicion"; meaning, the officer has to cite a good reason for the stop. Without supportive evidence, "He
looked like he was BWI" may not be enough for "articulable suspicion".
Either "littering", or "having insufficient observers" while towing skiers or tubers could be examples for a good reason for a NHMP stop.
