Not as long as there is "reasonable suspicion". He can ticket you, but a court would have to determine the validity of the ticket.

in order for the cop to issue a traffic citation, to include driving on a suspended license, they have to see you operating the vehicle. Also, if another cop sees you, the cop writing the citation can go on the other cop's word. If that makes sense.

The cop would have to see you and know that your license was suspended. They will not come to your door to get you because someone told them you were driving on a suspended license.

Cops don't fine anybody anything. Judges impose fines as allowed by law. If a cop wrote you a ticket for DUS, then either he/she saw you driving or some witness saw you driving and reported it to the cop. You want to dispute it? Go to court and plead not guilty.

No. If he has reason to approach you about some other matter that catches his attention, while you are clearly in possession of that vehicle, and it is obvious that you have been driving it, or are about to drive away in it, that gives him the right to ask to see your driver's license, and if he discovers you are suspended, then you're caught.

as you are in contempt of a court order telling you not to drive any motorized vehicle for a set duration of time you can be arrested for driving while disqualified (suspended) in the UK. you only have to be in the driving seat of said vehicle with the engine running to give the officer just cause.

They will use terms like "probable cause to believe", and "reasonapbe suspicion" and most traffic court judges go along with it. If you have not admitted to the cop you were driving, appeal the conviction, the Appeals Court will not see it that way, your citation will be dismissed.

Unless he pulls you over for something else, yes. If he see's you and your driving under suspension, and he knows that, he can pull you over.
They don't always have to have reasons. Legally they do, but if you argue, they will find something wrong. And if you have a history of driving under suspension, it's his or her word over yours when you go to court.
I have been down this road many many times. Over $2200 in fines because I kept getting caught by the same state trooper and city cop. After a while, they sat and watched my house waiting for me to leave.

He would have to see you in the drivers seat with the keys in the ignition
