Maybe it was too much trouble for you to read more than the sentence in the subject line, which must be condensed because of space. Here's are the highlights of what I wrote of the officer so you won't have to bother with the 30 seconds it would have taken to read the thread:
"Please understand I am asking these questions not knowing the answers; perhaps my suspicion is incorrect."
"So my question is a factual inquiry: When police check their computer for a driver's license and see that it is expired, would that officer also see on the same screen whether the license was suspended?"
"I also have some doubts about the officer"
"Perhaps the officer was telling the truth and the computer screen he checked first only stated that date of expiration"
"The Court has not ruled, yet, on whether an officer can stop a motorist for a made-up reason. Whether or not that is what happened here, I hope to find out"
"In any case, I would not go after an officer unless I obtained strong evidence of wrong-doing. All I have now are questions."
