I know a police officer has to have probable cause to pull you over. Does probably cause include saying "You don't have a front license plate?" Well, I was driving past you going about 50 when it was dark. Then, when you point out to the cop that there IS a front license plate, he says..."Well, you backlights aren't working." And you say, "Well, yes they are, my dashboard warning lights says they are out, but the lights work fine." Once this is proved to the officer, he says, "Well, you were driving erratically." Then proceeds to arrest you for DUI. But, on the police report, he puts down, "Pull so-and-so over for no front license plate, I confirmed there was a front license plate, but then noticed while standing at the back of her car (which, may I add, was turned completely off!!!) that her rear lights weren't working. He never wrote anything about me driving erratically!!! Will this hold in court as probably cause???
