Q: Can a police officer write me citation for driving on revoked even if he did not pull me over.?
He was at the motel I reside at picking up someone with warrants and seen me drive around the parking lot and park. I went down to front desk an hour after me parking the car and he came in and wrote me a dwlr ticket
A:
GREAT QUESTION - We've seen this happen in the past, although it involved a law enforcement officer whom was basically a neighbor and regularly checked DMV records.
While a citation may be written, that does NOT necessarily mean it can be proven in court.
Makes sense to talk to an experienced attorney ASAP.
