You can ask the officer for the citation number or the specific law or ordinance you are being cited for during a traffic stop.
Your insurance should not go up, since it was not a moving traffic violation
If you get pulled over but do not receive a ticket, it means that the police officer decided not to issue you a citation for the violation they pulled you over for.
If you were pulled over for a traffic violation that IS 'just' cause.
if that is the ONLY thing that you can't provide, and no serious circumstances are pending against you, the police officer can let it go or he can issue a citation in which you usually have 30 days to comply to provide registration and maybe will have to pay a small fine. In Florida the compliance penalties for most traffic infractions are mandated by the county.
I would still issue the proper citation if it was a citable offense, since traffic offenses are strict liability offenses. Let the courts figure out the validity of the sovereignty.
yes
This will certainly vary by state, but a typical citation for not being able to show proof of insurance will be a "correctable violation", meaning, for a small administrative fee ($10-$20), the court will dismiss the charge if you can demonstrate you had proper insurance at the time of the citation.
Officers of the law can issue citations anywhere, even on private property.
Most definitely. It is a violation.
In Alabama, a seat belt violation is generally considered a secondary offense, meaning that you cannot be pulled over solely for not wearing a seat belt. However, if you are stopped for another traffic violation, law enforcement can issue a ticket for not wearing a seat belt. While it is not classified as a moving violation like speeding or running a red light, it can still result in a fine.
Depends on the state... In Arizona ars. 28-909 subsection c saysC. A peace officer shall not stop or issue a citation to a person operating a motor vehicle on a highway in this state for a violation of this section unless the peace officer has reasonable cause to believe there is another alleged violation of a motor vehicle law of this state.
If lanes are not marked, you cannot be pulled over for a lane violation. However, you can always be pulled over for reckless driving, which is at the discretion of the officer.
