The questioner is confusing the wording of two legal concepts. The proper legal usage of the terms is REASONABLE SUSPICION and PROBABLE CAUSE.

Probably Cause leads from Reasonable Suspicion and is developed when a trained law enforcement officer determines that there is enough cause to believe that a crime has been committed and the person whom he can identify, or has in custody, is the one who committed it.
