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.
