Best Answer

A police officer can stop any person operating a motor vehicle and demand that they produce a valid operator's license. If a police officer knows that a person does not have a valid operator's license and sees them operating a motor vehicle, then they have not only the right, but the duty to stop them.

Yes. If the officer knows and recognizes you and suspects you may be operating illegally he CAN pull you over and check to see if you are uprating legally law give officers liberal leeway to protect the public by checking on the compliance with the motor vehicle laws.

He/she needs a reason and you can bet he/she will find one.

Added: Above statement is true! Also, personal knowledge of the people they deal with frequently are one of the strengths of 'neighborhood policing.' IF the officer knows or has a suspicion that you are likely to be driving on a bad license, etc, yes. If you have a history of criminal involvement they will most certainly be keeping close tabs on you.

He can pull you over and ask to see your license and registration, but once you have complied with that, you have every right to leave.
