The action of the officers in stopping the three women is justified by the fact that the officer has reasonable suspicion that one or more of the women had drugs.

Reasonable suspicion refers to the legal standard of proof in law. It should be noted that reasonable suspicion is a legal standard for warrants and arrests.

In this case, since there's a <em>reasonable suspicion</em> that one or more of the women had drugs, then they can be searched. Officer Gomez saw them leaving the drug house, and that's suspicious.
