Limited License driving

I read up on "Whiskey Plates". Seems pretty friend'd up since the plates are attached to the vehicle regardless of the Driver.
Cops still need a reason to pull you over. Of course, they'll lie and make up a reason....

Couple of things...
Are they (cops) supposed to be psychics and know who is driving to justify the stop?


Next, 99% of the time any cop worth a S* doesn't need to make stuff up to get a stop. We as motoring public, (cops included) commit on average at least 20-25 violations or reasons why we could be stopped a day while driving and that is a conservative number. If good cop claims needs to make S* up, they shouldn't have a job.

Probabale cause is not needed to make a stop, just reasonable suspicion a violation has been committed.

That is the price you pay for multiple DUI’s. The vehicle you get caught in gets the plates and no they don’t need a reason to pull you over ( at least in MN. they don’t.) But you are right- they can always come up with a reason- true or not . And yes it sucks for anyone else driving that vehicle.

In fairness to @Lineandinitial , as of 2003, Minnesota Supreme Court ruled the stopping of vehicles with a "W" designation was unconstitutional and the practice was stopped.

State of MN v. Henning
STATE of Minnesota, Respondent, v. Joel Robert HENNING, Appellant.
No. C9-01-1985.


So, the officer has to have a reason to stop but like I said earlier, any good, fair, knowledgeable cop doesn't need to make S* up to get a stop.

See- you are never to old to learn. I didn’t realize MN had ruled that way.

Absolutely!
Cops can just as easily just let some little thing go, unless they're pricks!
