A traffic stop normally occurs when a law enforcement officer signals a motorist to move to the side of the roadway and stop. The stop constitutes a seizure under the Fourth Amendment because it interferes with the motorist’s freedom of movement. In order for the stop to be valid under the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution, the officer must point to specific and articulated facts to support a reasonable suspicion or probable cause of criminal conduct.

He didn’t “pull him over.” He passed him and flipped the bird. Notice how that doesn’t fit the definition of a traffic stop nor does it mean, “pulling him over.”
Have either of you ever been stopped by a cop? Did the cop speed past you and laugh after you stopped, or did he get out and ask for your license, registration, and insurance? Then did he discuss a motor vehicle infraction and give you a warning or a summons?
That’s what happens when you get pulled over. The guy in the ATF vehicle was an ass, but he did not violate anyone’s constitutional rights, nor did his conduct even approach the level of search and seizure, as well as quartering, that incited the American Revolution.
There are real violations to complain about. That guy makes us sound hysterical.
