The answer depends on the particular circumstances surrounding the stop. An officer must have a reasonable suspicion of particularized criminal activity toseized a person by stopping them.

Even if the stop is deemed valid, there are many other factors that go into negotiating and resolving such cases. If you have no prior infractions of a similar nature, it may be possible to avoid a conviction and another suspension and revocation.
