It sounds like there are several problems, starting with a "screw missing" as a basis for the stop.

(Was the license plate hanging crooked?)

Did you or did you not give consent to search?

How long was the "extended stop."

Your attorney can check and see if "the computers were running slow" by checking the dispatch records.
