It also relates to arrest. The Fourth Amendment provision applying the standard explicitly applies to searches and seizures of persons, houses, and effects. Arrest is seizure of one’s person.

Yes, but probably cause isn’t some binary.

A drug dog’s indications provide probable cause for searching your car, but are not enough to arrest you.
