[QUOTE="Billy Clyde, post: 2723462, member: 73690"] Not disputing the point you are making but a couple of things: "Pretext stops" are a 100% legit law enforcement tool. As long as the underlying basis for the stop was a valid offense, the police can stop you for a class C with the intent to look for something bigger. Secondly, he would have been required to have lights on based on your time statement. Law requires lights 30 minutes past sunset and up to 30 minutes before sunrise. I know pretext stops are unpopular, but they are legit as long as the officer isn't profiling. And honestly, if Sewo's headlights were on, I doubt the officer had any idea who was driving when he/she initiated the stop. I'm assuming it was DPS, on I-45, so it's most likely that the trooper was sitting northbound on the shoulder and would have been looking at headlights in his side view mirror (thus unable to see the driver). I guess it's possible he was driving slow going northbound and Sewo passed him, but even then, you are talking about some pretty low-light conditions. [/QUOTE]
