I was driving in the city of North Royalton and was 1,000 feet from entereing the city of Parma. A North Royalton cop just entered his city and we were driving past each other at a speed of 35 MPH.
The officer proceed to travel past me for 500 ft or so then did a U-turn and caught up to me and pulled me over in the city of Parma. I did not know why he had pulled me over, but he claimed he pulled me over because the tags were expired.
I do not understand why he pulled me over for a few reasons. Yes, my plates were expired, but the sticker is somewhat hidden my a license plate frame and he could not see it. The sticker is only required to be placed on the rear plate. Going past each other at the stated speed and the tag was not in plain sight (which can be a violation), I do not know why he pulled a U-turn and pulled me over; especially seeing that he just entered his city of jurisdiction. There doesn't seem to be reasonable cause to do so. Can I get out of this?
