Maybe so people like you will blindly tell everyone they know not to worry because ‘probable cause’ is required for a stop? Which is simply not true

Thanks for shedding some light for "people like me" on a few issues that aren't readily available for those of us who don't have professional experience with the law.
The only point I'd argue is that the slippery slope argument continues to pop up, and while I understand that some may see it being there despite maybe the grade not being steep, with have multiple federal examples and decades worth of evidence where the slippery slope that this apparently creates has led to... nothing.
I think it's important to look at this issue and take issue with it based on what it is, which I can fully understand, not some imaginary slope to nowhere. Our imaginations are wide, but when reality gives you something to base your predictions on, there's no sense ignoring it.
