FBI's new investigation standard is lower than standard used by police for investigations

Congressman and former assistant United States Attorney Artur Davis (D-Va.) asks FBI Director Robert Mueller about the standard that the FBI will use as a threshold for opening investigations. Since the activities undertaken by the FBI are similar to those used by police in an initial investigation, Davis asked if the standard needed to undertake an FBI investigation will be lower than the standard set out by police in the 1968 Supreme Court decision in Terry v. Ohio. Mueller initially resists the question, but eventually says the standard is lower. (0:51)
