Can a cop pull you over because they run your licence and it says you have a warrant?

Yes, if the physical description of the subject of the warrant is similar to the individual driving the vehicle.
Another View: The physical appearance (as stated above) is not a requirement. Warrants are seldom issued with the physical appearance of the wanted subject included within them. If the warrant information indicates the registered owner of the vehicle is the one who is wanted, it is sufficient enough to pull the vehicle over. The registered owner is always presumed to be the operator. It is within the duties of the police to confirm this information and if the driver is not the registered owner (and the subject of the warrant) the mininimal intrusiveness of the stop for investigation is permissiible.

Can a cop pull you over in someone elses car just because he knows you have a suspended license?
If you have a suspended licence, you shouldn't be driving. By doing so you are breaking the law and so the police officer would be within his rights to pull you over. What car you are driving has no bearing on whether you are allowed to drive or not, having a suspended licence does.

In Canadian law does a cop need a reason to pull over a cab your a passenger and do they have to read your rights to you?
They only need to read you your rights if you are being arrested. They can pull the cab over for the same reasons they can pull a car over. Could be a spot check, licence issue, suspected drunk driving or any thing they deem reasonable.
Can the police run your drivers license without stopping you?
If they know your name or licence number, they can look it up. But they need to know this first, so, if you're not already known to them, they'd have to pull you over to get this information. They can, however, run the licence plate. Now if the owner of the vehicle is, say, a woman in her 50s, and the driver appears to me a male in their 20s, they'll know the driver of the vehicle isn't the owner, which could be reason to pull that vehicle over and verify the ID of the driver. While there does have to be reasonable cause to pull a vehicle over, it's not very hard to find. When I did patrol, if I wanted to pull a vehicle over, 99% of the time, I could find a valid reason to.

Do police officers pull you over for parking tickets?
No they will not pull you over for parking tickets unless the company who booked you in the first place has took it to court and obtained a warrant of arrest for non-payment of your parking fine. Otherwise just drive as normal and either pay it or fight it if you think you were wrongly booked. Good luck !
