Defendant Deno Jaggir Vichas appeals from the denial of his motion to suppress. After the district court denied the motion, Vichas entered a conditional plea of guilty to a charge of possession with intent to distribute marijuana, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841 (a)(1).

Law enforcement agents may make brief investigatory stops of moving vehicles when they have founded suspicion that the occupants have been or are involved in criminal activity. Guam v. Ichiyasu, 838 F.2d 353, 355 (9th Cir.1988); see also Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1, 22 , 88 S.Ct. 1868 , 20 L.Ed.2d 889 (1968). In evaluating whether reasonable suspicion exists, we consider the totality of the circumstances. United States v. Cortez, 449 U.S. 411, 417 , 101 S.Ct. 690 , 66 L.Ed.2d 621…
