Re: pulled over for 1 reason, ticketed for another

Hello. Yes, a police officer can do this as part of his police powers, especially if you are guilty of certain violations. The best defense

is to be "right" and have your vehicle

in working order and your license in

place. Hope my answers were helped.

Will be happy to answer any additional

questions you may have.
