Q: Can the Police pull me over, let me go without telling me to pull my car over or stop driving and pull me again for same
Pull me over for same thing 15 Minutes later for same thing now arrest me and search my vehicle??
A: That is unusual. The officers' written reasons for their actions must be reviewed to determine if they provided rational reasons to support probable cause for their actions. Of course, they may or may not be telling the truth in their explanation, but that's where the analysis starts. Your lawyer will then investigate to determine if you have viable defenses and if there are any legal violations by the officers that can lead to dismissal of the charge(s).

A:
The Fourth Amendment protects citizens against unreasonable searches and seizures, which includes being stopped without a valid reason. If you were pulled over a second time for the same reason without a new violation occurring, it could be viewed as an unreasonable seizure.
However, the specific details and circumstances of the situation play a crucial role in determining the legality of the stops. If you believe your rights were violated, you should consult with legal counsel to assess the specifics of your situation.
