An unlawful traffic stop occurs when law enforcement officers pull over a vehicle without reasonable suspicion or probable cause to believe that a traffic violation or crime has occurred. This can include stops made based solely on race, ethnicity, or other discriminatory factors, rather than observable behavior or evidence. If a stop is deemed unlawful, any evidence obtained during the stop may be inadmissible in court. Additionally, individuals may have grounds to file a complaint or seek legal recourse against the officers involved.
