He was pulled over for expired tags, not an air freshener. Many laws can be used as a pretext. For example, I pull you over for going 2 MPH over the speed limit. And nobody wants a bunch of speed cameras anyway.[/quote]

Plenty of people want a bunch of speed cameras. They're very effective in getting people to reduce driving speeds and in reducing the number of crashes. If you don't want to get a ticket from a speed camera, all you have to do is not drive 12 mph or more over the speed limit.

Also, pretextual stops should be illegal.[/quote]

There is no way to prove whether a stop is pretextual.[/quote]

Nope. But you can have a departmental policy put in place that says an officer can ONLY issue a citation for whatever the stop was for, and nothing else.

So if I pull you over for a tail light out and see a pound of weed or a dead hooker in your backseat, I can only give you a repair order for the tail light.

Fine with me. [/quote]
