The missing term in your sentence is "Probable Cause." The complete sentence would be:

"Probable cause is a belief, based on a consideration of the facts at hand and on reasonable inferences drawn from those facts that would induce an ordinarily prudent and cautious person under the same circumstances to conclude that criminal activity is taking place or that criminal activity has recently occurred."
