I seem to remember another thread about this. It's absolute bullshit, they put warrants out against people, not cars.

Yeah, that was my thread, too. That was more of a "cops are assholes" kind of a thing. But now that this has happened twice, I wonder if there isn't something to it. I should have made the cop tell me the name of the person who the warrant was against, instead of giving him the out. That he didn't run my ID was telling as well.

It would seem more likely that he ran your plates and received info that there was a warrant for the owner of the vehicle.

What about this?
I'm with some friends. A cop follows us in town for probably 2-3 miles and then pulls us over (how long can they actually follow someone?) He then asks if he can search the persons car (she said no) He does it anyways...(is that legal). There was no reason for him to think we had anything illegal (he said he was checking for "guns, knives and bombs") Problem 2. I get pulled over this past thursday for a busted tail light lense which is covered up with red tape. He takes my license, checks it, brings it back and says thanks bye. Is it illegal even if it's covered with red tape? |

#2 I don't believe it's legal to cover a tail lens with red tape. The guy probably could have given you a fix it ticket but didn't feel like it. Consider yourself lucky and get it fixed before you get pulled over again. You will.

A. Probable cause to believe there's something illegal in it or it's being used for illegal activity B. the vehicle operator's permission As far as the taillight, laws may vary but most states all that's required is one red taillight, and one covered with red tape should qualify as that. More than likely he was just looking for an excuse to pull you over. |

And they will ALWAYS find a reason for probable cause, it sucks but is just how it is.

but they also list vehicle information and if a plate is run that is a match to that person's warrant, maybe just the state is different or something, and then the cop has probable cause for the stop. It's not actually a warrant for the car, but it is also not B.S. |
