Lack of Reasonable Suspicion to Stop (did the officer have a legitimate reason for contacting you? Here are just some examples of what courts have held to be reasonable suspicion for an officer to contact you - speeding, having a headlight or taillight out, forgetting to turn on headlights at night, changing lanes without a turn signal, swerving, weaving, driving too slow, expired tabs, talking on a cellphone, driving too fast for conditions - I had a client's case dismissed who failed to signal exiting a grocery store, then performed very poorly on field sobriety tests and blew a .13 - the prosecutor agreed the officer had no reason to contact my client because it was not illegal for him to exit a grocery store without signaling)
