No you are wrong. I'm not talking about license plates, I'm talking about licenses. The police cannot pull over people at random to check to see if their license has been renewed.


Let me say that I am under the impression that it is not possible to see whether someone's license has been renewed by checking their license plate, if it is then they most likely have the legal right to pull you over. But they cannot pull you over to gather information that is not accessible from checking the license plate or other obvious external signs such as that.

In many states running a license plate will also give you the driver's license info on the registered owner. If it's expired that shows up as well.

Ok if that is the case then I think it is within the law. I am just reacting to the idea that the police can pull you over to get specific information. This isn't Nazi Germany, the police can't just pull you over to "check your papers" without some legal reason to do so.

But since your an idiot and can't handle being told your wrong, won't do your own research, or will keep moving the goalposts (see above) I'll help you out.

"Appellate courts in other jurisdictions have consistently held that an officer's knowledge that a driver's license was suspended at some relatively recent time is sufficient to create reasonable suspicion of unlawful activity and support an investigatory stop of the vehicle. See United States v. Lutz, 207 F. Supp. 2d 1247, 1255 (D. Kan. 2002) (officer knew defendant's license had been suspended and defendant had a prior conviction for driving under suspension); Stone v. State, 856 So. 2d 1109, 1112 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2003) (officer knew driver's license had been suspended four or five weeks prior to the current stop); State v. Wade, 673 So. 2d 906, 907 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1996) (officer had conducted a records check less than two weeks before the current stop which showed driver's license was suspended); State v. Leyva, 599 So. 2d 691, 693 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1992) (officer had four-to-five-week-old knowledge the driver's license was suspended); State v. Carrs, 568 So. 2d 120, 121 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1990) (officer had cited the driver for driving with an expired license within the past week); State v. Harris, 513 S.E.2d 1, 3-4 (Ga. Ct. App. 1999) (officer learned a "few weeks" prior to the stop that the driver's license was suspended); State v. Brown, 733 So. 2d 1282, 1287 (La. Ct. App. 1999) (officer had run a records check one day before the stop showing driver's license was suspended); Commonwealth v. Deramo, 762 N.E.2d 815, 817 (Mass. 2002) (officer had learned two months earlier that driver's license was suspended); State v. Duesterhoeft, 311 N.W.2d 866, 867-68 (Minn. 1981) (officer had learned one month earlier that driver's license was suspended); City of St. Paul v. Vaughn, 237 N.W.2d 365, 368-69 (Minn. 1975) (officer had run a license check one month earlier showing suspected driver's license was suspended); State v. Bue, 985 S.W.2d 386, 390 (Mo. Ct. App. 1999), overruled on other grounds by State v. Withrow, 8 S.W.3d 75 (Mo. 1999) (officer knew driver's license had previously been revoked and driver had driven without a valid license in the past); State v. Yeargan, 958 S.W.2d 626, 633 (Tenn. 1997) (officer had learned six months earlier that driver's license had been suspended for one year); State v. Gibson, 665 P.2d 1302, 1304-05 (Utah 1983) (officer had learned four months earlier that driver's license was suspended); State v. Howk, 2004 WI App. 88, 679 N.W.2d 928 (Table) (officer had run a records check thirteen days earlier showing driver's license was revoked); State v. Kassube, 659 N.W.2d 499, 500-01 (Wis. Ct. App. 2003) (officer knew driver had not had a license for many years, and driver had told officer within the prior eleven months that he did not have a license)."

So stopping someone who previously and/or recently has been stopped for driving without a license or other license related issue to check on that same issue is, in fact, BLATANTLY LEGAL. Should I post YOUR WRONG again or would your head explode.

Now go thank a cop in person and while your there apologize to them for pretending to know anything about the law on the internet.

If you think that is "owning" someone then boy do I have news for you. Almost all of the cases you posted were examples of cops pulling people over with information that they were driving on a suspended license, which is far different than pulling someone over to check if they had their license renewed. And the poo poo about pulling people over that the police know have a history of driving with a suspended license/unrenewed license seems of dubious constitutional validity and is the type of thing that the Supreme Court often takes a poo poo on.

One could assume the poster who said he got pulled over about the renewed license had previously been pulled over while it was expired. Police work in action.

The difference between that and pulling someone over for a suspended license is that you have confirmed information that someone is driving around illegally, in the other case you are just guessing that they are driving around illegally.


It is like the difference between "I have confirmed information that someone is transporting cocaine" and "This guy probably has some coke". Enacting laws that let you profile and detain people based on previous offenses is not something that I think has much legal validity outside of sex offender laws.

It was refreshing to see you spend time joking and laughing with his room mate, a former officer from your own department that's now mentally disabled with violent tendencies. I know it's terribly stressful and difficult being a police officer and you really do deserve breaks from your jobs, and I'm glad to see that you guys got one. I especially appreciate your assumptions about everyone else being at fault for his actions, it really is nice to see comradery that extends beyond the shield and really, it must be really hard to be the friend of a former police officer and they deserve all the breaks they can get.

I would never ever insinuate that the police would overlook something like that. If a former officer or the friend of one were involved in a reprehensible and criminal act, I am sure that the police doing the investigation would be impartial and would treat everyone involved fairly, just as they would treat a random stranger accused of a crime.

In the spirit of genuine police appreciation I spent about an hour on and off the phone with an officer last week as we tried to figure out how to negotiate with an rear end in a top hat tyrant father how to get a girl out of her abusive household. She sounded genuinely concerned. She also sounded young; I wonder if she'll still be a cop in a few years.

Well done officer x. Keep checking this poster out!

Also, he can check that by running the plates...which are valid and were valid at the time of the initial stop. Which is why I was stopped.

Not making excuses for my license being suspended...forgot to pay on another ticket on another BS stop (pulled over because the officer didn't recognize the printed temp plate through the DMV slapped me with failure to be insured THE DAY I HAD BOUGHT THE CAR WHILE I WAS ON MY WAY TO THE AGENCY. Even though I disagree with suspension of a right for late payment of a fine.

He's stopping me to inconvenience me. Which is why he keeps getting complaints.

EDIT: He found out the SECOND TIME that I had been reinstated...every time after that falls into a gray space or blatant harassment or AoP.

I'm not going to get into the semantics of what is covered under Freedom of Movement.

For much of American history, the right to travel included the right to travel by the vehicle of one's choice, and courts occasionally struck down regional regulations that required licenses or government permission to travel on public roadways. With the advent of the automobile, however, courts began upholding laws and regulations requiring licenses to operate vehicles on roadways. Constitutional scholar Roger Roots has referred to the forgotten right to travel without license as "the orphaned right."[19]

But we kind of let the courts shaft us on this one.

It's universally accepted that driving is a privilege under the law-arguments to the contrary are not worth debate. Rather than calling Roots a constitutional scholar, it might be more appropriate to call him a fringe author, perennial libertarian candidate and white hood enthusiast.

Driving on a suspended license is a municipal violation where I am from. AKA moving violation.

Sorry...reinstated.

Non payment of fines results in a temporary suspension.

So get your facts straight.

I've lost a pear and I don't want it rotting and getting all moldy near my work station.

EDIT: Revoked is a permanent - or long term suspension of 'privileges' for things like DUI and Felony Reckless
Suspended is a temporary - pay your fine and give the DMV $60 because reasons or we will just keep ticketing and fining you.

As for traffic stops, some states (e.g., Minnesota) require multiple DWI offenders to drive with whiskey plates. This is a stipulation, necessary to get your license back, that you may only drive your own vehicle, which has whiskey plates. You also consent to police stops without cause other than the whskey plates. I used to work for a lawyer who had them. Cops hated him, as a good DWI-defense lawyer (for other people).
