No.

Added: Under 'normal' circumstances they usually do, HOWEVER if before they even speak to you, they begin issuing orders or are clearly displaying an armed response, COOPERATE with them! They will tell you in due course.

Can a cop pull you over when he did not see the crime?

Yes, because a witness probably told him, and if someone saw it happen they can tell a police officer. If no one saw it and the police did not see it then they would not pull you over, unless he has ESP. There is a chance you are being pulled over for something else. Anotehr reason would be reasonable suspicion; an officer does not need to see you robbing a bank if he knows it happened and you are speeding away.
