The objective test for reasonable suspicion requires that there be evidence before the magistrate showing reasonable grounds; reliance on an undisclosed cautioned statement not produced at trial meant the magistrate could not objectively conclude that Inspector Kwok had reasonable grounds to arrest, so the inspector was not acting in the execution of his duty and the conviction for assaulting an officer in the execution of his duty could not stand.
