Definitions:
Probable Cause (PC)
Probable cause to make an arrest exists when an officer has knowledge of such facts as would lead a reasonable person to believe that a particular individual is committing, has committed, or is about to commit a criminal act. The officer must be able to articulate the facts and circumstances forming the basis for probable cause.
Reasonable Suspicion
Reasonable suspicion is a standard established by the Supreme Court in a 1968 case in which it ruled that a police officer should be allowed to stop and briefly detain a person if, based upon the officer’s training and experience, there is reason to believe that the individual is engaging in criminal activity. The officer is given the opportunity to freeze the action by stepping in to investigate. Unlike probable cause that uses a reasonable person standard, reasonable suspicion is based upon the standard of a reasonable police officer.

Policing is becoming too politically correct, I miss the good old days when cops use to rip them out of that back seat.

Does this mean if I call in a crime that I witnessed you cannot do anything about it unless you show up at the crime scene and see the crime happening first hand? Isn't it too late at that point?

See, the reasonable suspicion doesn't make any sense, that was the problem with certain cops is that they would often throw the phrase reasonable suspicion to exercise their power on citizens even if a crime wasn't committed.
