Yes. A routine traffic stop is a term used to describe a common motor vehicle code violation. It is also know as a traffic violation. A police officer has the right to stop a car when the driver has committed a violation of the state code. Examples: failure to stop at a stop sign, running a red light, exceeding the speed limit, expired sticker, faulty equipment, failure to stay in marked lanes, etc.

Police powers also vary from state to state and between countries. In the UK, for example, any police officer has the power to stop any vehicle being driven on a road. There does not have to be any reason or any suspicion of any offence to use the power. The power allows the police to carry out entirely random stops if they wish and also allows a vehicle to be stopped without having to discuss the reason for the stop with the driver.
