Q: I got pulled over for running a red light and the cop said he's not going to give me a citation for running a red light
But I got pulled over for running the red light so that what gave him proable cause to stop me was I ran the red light but now he told me he not giving me the sitation for running the red light only driving without a license so now there no proable cause correct
A: No, he can still give you a citation for driving without a license. The reason for the stop was valid and he cited with you a violation he discovered following the stop.
A: I agree and further note that if you go to the DJ and the DJ sees he was going to cut you a break and you want to hold that against him he will invite the officer to charge you with the moving violation. Do you really want a points violation on top of the dwl?
