Your were driving the car even though you were already in your driveway and getting out, if the officer saw you behind the wheel and the car was in motion, Yep he's right.
You're already driving under a suspended license, which means you should not even get behind the wheel.
Don't get mad, you waved you rights under the motor vehicle code once you license was suspended the first time. The only thing you can do is go to court and hope the judge is a nice guy.

Sounds like the officer made an incorrect statement to you about your "rights;" either that, or there's another version of the story out there that you're not telling us, which I suspect is true. After all, if you've never been arrested or charged with anything, why is your license suspended??
Whether or not you were "actually pulled over" or in your driveway is irrelevant. The officer saw you driving, your license was suspended, you're guilty, so pay the fine and be done with it. The fact that you were in your driveway doesn't have anything to do with it, either.
You don't have a leg to stand on.

Exercise your rights all you want, but he can still search you and possibly the vehicle under these circumstances. First of all, the cop can pull you over because of the busted tail light. Yeah, you weren't really pulled over, but you were getting out of the vehicle, so you were there, so he can detain you to continue his investigation. Then, it is appropriate to ask for your license. Once he found out that your license was suspended, you can be arrested. Because he can arrest you, whether you actually get arrested or not, he can search you and the inside of the car (but probably not the trunk) as a search incident to arrest.
Rights? Not really. Once he has you on one crime, in many cases, you can be searched for another crime.

You were under arrest when the officer determined your license was suspended. Consequently, you lost your right to be free from search, at least of your person, purse, and car (passenger compartment). You still had the right to keep your mouth shut. In my jurisdiction you would also have your car impounded and would pay approx. $1000 to get it back. Don't forget, driving is a privilege extended to responsible, law-abiding citizens, not slackers.

You dont actually have the a "right" in this case. You were observed driving with a mechanical problem and were pulled over for further investigation. It does not matter where you were pulled over. You needed to show a valid form of identification, and if you refused you would have gone to the station until your true identity was ascertained anyway. In that case your and your personal property would have been thoroughly searched for contraband, weapons, your ID would have come up. Its kind of a "pay me now or pay me later" arrangement in that situation. Next time, I suggest you appear in court or at least postpone the date.

sure, he replaced into ensuring his very own risk-free practices against 2 attackers. He basically used the firearm to take administration of the situation. He controlled to make the toddlers back off and leave, and went no greater desirable. If he replaced into improperly exercising his 2nd modification rights, he could have shot at them as they fled. even yet it is not commendable of him that he threw the 1st punch, it additionally isn't commendable of the toddlers that he had to combat 2-on-one. No, weapons should not be banned.

What rights? You drive around on a suspended license you are going to get the book thrown at you.
In any case, you have all the same options you have at any traffic stop.

Yes, you can excercise your rights to call a lawyer, or your right to take a plea. You were driving your vehicle illegally and you admit it.... chalk it up to being caught breaking the law, pay your fees, get your license back and move on.
