All of those things are probable cause. You can't ask that police simply ignore reasonably obvious signs that a crime is being committed. Whether the things held up by the creators of the law would hold up in a court of law to a judge is also a different matter. Really, what the creators thought is pretty irrelevant when you get right down to it.

Also the police have a well documented history of racial profiling anyway.
And if you can show that's what happen, you have a civil rights suit. The mere threat of racial profiling is not enough to overturn a law.
