A: Mostly likely yes, if you was on private property, and was not in your vehicle at the time of the stop, the cop can still stop you. Was it your private land? If not, it doesn't probably matter.

A: A judge would look at all the circumstances that the police officer claims as reason for the stop. If lacking, the judge could rule the stop illegal. But much more information than provided in the question would be reviewed.
