Police make stops for minor equipment violations to investigate the car and driver for other more serious violations or crimes. In some cases, an officer might think you’ve committed a crime, but the officer lacks sufficient evidence to pull you over for that crime. So the equipment violation is used as a pretext for pulling you over. These are known as pretextual stops.
