A vehicle stop occurs when law enforcement officers pull over a vehicle to investigate a potential violation of traffic laws or other suspicious activity. This process typically involves the officer signaling the driver to pull over, often using flashing lights or sirens. The officer may approach the vehicle to speak with the driver and assess the situation. During a vehicle stop, the officer may check the driver's license, registration, and insurance to ensure compliance with legal requirements. The driver may be issued a citation, given a warning, or, in some cases, arrested if a serious violation is discovered.
