is there any law on an illegal stop with false precence on why driver was pulled  yet not any violation proven

No, the police can't legally stop you "just because"...there must be at least be something known as reasonable suspicion.\n\nHowever, I have almost no idea what your question is because of the way you wrote it.  Any chance you can turn it into something that makes a little more sense?

your lucky you didnt wind up in JAIL!!!  You drivers license must have been clear because Im sure the officer that pulled you over ran your I.D. through everything he had at his disposal.  The way it sounds Im thinking the officer had a drunk driver on his hands for sure!!  all over the road is the fastest way to get pulled over that I know of.. it even works at the speed limit!! depending on what state you live in... expect a 300 to 500 dollar fine if you dont have insurance... and remind me NEVER to let you drive MY car!!!\n\nremember the next set of headlights comming at you the way you described here.. could be a drunk driver... \n\ncareful never hurt anyone..\nluck RUNS OUT!

I don't know about in NY, but it can happen in GA;  cop wrote ticket for failure to yield right of way; guy even admitted he ran the red light light; witnesses all agreed;  judge let him go b/c officer should have written "failure to yield right of way while making a left hand turn"!!

Yes, it's still legal.\n\nAll that a cop needs is reasonable suspicion to stop a vehicle. \n\nArticulable facts concerning contraband can also permit a stop, without a traffic infraction.\n\nIt's also written into the legislation that they can stop to check for driver's licences and random breath tests. They don't even have to see you do anything wrong, and they can quite literaly pick people out at random if they choose to.\n\nThe fact that he found an illegal substance and beer in your car will DEFINITELY NOT sit well w/ the judge at your hearing in court...

In Texas, I have encountered this problem when I'm responding to an emergency. When opportunity allows I have stopped these people and asked for reasons. The number reason is because "I didn't see/notice you." I reply to this by asking them if they didn't see my emergency lights or hear my siren, then how are they able to be aware of the other traffic around them. In Texas, a driver must either pull into another lane (if available) or slow to 20 miles an hour below the posted speed limit. Before I had a radar unit in my vehicle, I used to "leap frog" the state troopers. I would pull in behind their units on traffic stops and then issue citations to anyone that failed to move over or slow down. On average, I wrote three tickets for every traffic stop that they made.

Police anywhere need probable cause to pull you over. But it can be over something simple. You car looks like one that has been stolen, your tail light is out, you're speeding.... MOST cops are actually just doing their jobs and not trying to be jerks about it. But you have a few who take the job to their head. There are also situations where they are looking for someone or something and they can pull cars over at random for searches. But I believe they have to tell you if thats the case.

Officers don't keep a list of things to pull people over for. Law enforcement officers are educated and trained to look for violations of the law or behavior that arouses suspicon of a violation of the law. To answer your question: No such list exists.

A sheriff's deputy stopped me for making a left turn.  He was offended because I did not not yield the right of way to him.  I explained that he was making a right turn and that we both had a free lane to turn into therefore there was no need to yield him the right of way.  I then pointed out that after I had made my legal turn he turned directly into my lane so he was the one who needed a ticket!  He grumbled a bit and sent me on his way.

It's still considered a "right-of-way" violation. The driver with the legal "right-of-way" is the one with the green light, whether he's an idiot or not. Up here in New England (and I'm sure everywhere else), we have a lot of drivers that go for miles with their blinker on. I wait until they have actually started making the turn to go, because once they start turning, they lose the "right-of-way" on the street they were on.

It's a valid ticket inasmuch as it's a real ticket.\n\nThe inaccuracy, if present on the officer's copy of the ticket (and, presumedly, your copy, too), does present inaccuracies in the officer's version of the events.\n\nIf he read his watch wrong, how can we be sure he didn't read the speedometer wrong?  Or the radar gun?  This is what can be called "reasonable doubt"; especially if you can *TRUTHFULLY* testify that you weren't going the speed the officer cited you for.  (Or, in *certain* circumstances, that the speed you were going--regardless of the posted limit--was safe because of traffic flow, weather conditions, etc....)\n\nIf you have a fair judge, you may "beat" the ticket.\n\nOn the other hand, it can take quite a bit of time to adequately make a defense against a traffic ticket.  You *may* be better off just attending traffic school if you can.  (Bear in mind, that in many US states, if you go to trial and lose, you will *not* have the option of Traffic school....)

Maybe, but I wouldn't bet on it.  There is a better reason it get a continuance, though.  The cop, when he testifies, will be working entirely off his notes from the traffic stop.  Think about how many people the average cop stops for speeding or running a red light in a three month period.  He won't really remember pulling you over.  All you have to do is find a way to shed doubt on his testimony.\n\nFor example, I got a speeding ticket where the cop determined my speed by pacing me.  Pacing requires following at a set distance for a specific amount of time.  In court, all I had to do was use the mathematics of the situation to show that it was doubtful that he followed me for the required distance.  The charge was thrown out.

The same questions they ask me.  Drivers license and proof of insurance.  If I don't have that, it's get out of the car.....I'm toted off to jail and my car impounded till I can provide the documents that are necessary.  I've had them shine a light in my car and hold my art eraser till it was determined it wasn't contraband.  I got some deal on my ticket for disrespecting an officer because I busted out laughing while he was sniffing my eraser.  I've had my car searched for no other reason than an outed tail light.  I've randomly had to be subjected to sobriety tests and a pat down.  Been in a car in which we were pulled over because the police thought the driver "looked funny".  We agreed, but the police officer didn't think it was funny.  I have been pulled over as a youth and had my parents called to see if they knew where I was.  I have been repeatedly pulled over time and time again by a cop because I drove a van that was considered the "type of vehicle" a drug trafficer would drive.  I've been pulled over because they wanted to be sure I wasn't being abducted since the passenger was a black person.  I've also turned a corner without putting on a turn signal and been let go.  I've had police officers help me when I was stranded on the side of the road without a question asked.\n\nI'd like to know when you aren't required to have your license on you when you are driving a vehicle!  I thought that was a basic rule#1.

Laws are created by various entities so you would have to check several places.  Your state laws, county, municipality might all have laws of that sort.  As long as they are in the book and not "repealed" they are active and could conceivably be enforced.  Many of those laws are not enforced even though they are active.  The law enforcement agents would really need to feel like doing something about it to investigate or arrest someone for those laws.  So you might also have to ask the police to see if they would respond to a complaint about one of those laws.  In short, there is no quick or easy way to do that.  You will have to research law materials first.  See if there is a law library at your courthouse.  That will be a good start for all applicable laws in your area.

The police are correct in their assessment.  Without an independent, disinterested witness to the state of the traffic signal, it comes down to "he said, she said" and unless one of you is of such poor character as to be not believable then it is a wash.  \n\nIf there were any other drivers that witnessed the accident but did not stop, it might be worth taking out an advert in the local rag asking if anyone witnessed the accident and would be willing to come forward and make a statement.\n\nBest of luck!

No it isn't.They will stop you for it though because as mentioned it affects your vision outside the car.\nI was stopped by a hiway patrol because he said I traveled to far in the inside lane on the hiway and that my wife had the interior light on for reading which was illegal.\nI beat both tickets in court because neither one was considered illegal by the Dept.of Rev.

Not only can he stop him but he can issue him a ticket. My son is a police officer and he was stopped and given a ticket by a state trooper in Florida. He was in his police car and he thought that the trooper was kidding, but he was not. My son went to his supervisor and got the ticked voided, but it was not easy.....KECK
