So if I am out on patrol, and I FIND a burgular, I am not supposed to do anything because I found him? When I say if I "find" a reason, that means the person operating the vehicle has done something to violate the law. Isn't that my job? Finding people violating the law then enforcing those same laws? I still don't understand your logic!
yes that makes perfect sense ........... it is just the way your other statement was made .....
"if I find a reason, then I am within the law"
again sounds like a fishing expedition ...... it is a matter of interpretation
when you say find, it sounds like you really do not have a reason to make the stop .... but your going to find one ...
if you have to make it up .... ( I know not what you said )
not like I am going to observe someone driving erratically or acting suspicious ... looking for then to do something illegal ....

Tell me how he saw that flying up behind me with his brights on and then riding my a$$. He just got lucky that he saw an easy reason when he walked up. Didn't even walk back to the car with my license. He just asked me where I lived, my phone number etc. Trying to smell alcohol on my breath.
