vehicle and a license check on the registered owner of the vehicle. The license check indicated
that the owner of the Nissan had a suspended license. Allen pulled up the DMV photo on the
owner of the Nissan and drove up to the side of the vehicle to verify that the driver matched the
description of the owner. Seeing that the woman driving the Nissan “also matched” the
description of the registered owner, Allen conducted a traffic stop in a CVS parking lot. As
Allen exited his vehicle, a second police vehicle arrived at the scene of the stop.
When Allen approached the Nissan, he told the driver that he had pulled her over because
the registered owner of the vehicle had a suspended license and asked for her license and
registration. Allen also asked if there were any weapons in the vehicle. The driver, who later

mother was the owner of the vehicle. She also asked whether “that was the only reason why he
pulled her over.” Allen answered that he pulled her over for that reason and also because she
was going 30 miles per hour in a 45 mile-per-hour zone. After rummaging through her
pocketbook and the interior of the vehicle, Knight-Walker provided Allen with her license but
could not find the vehicle’s registration. She again informed Allen that it was registered to her
mother and that they lived at the same address. Allen returned to his vehicle and ran
Knight-Walker’s information, discovering her driver’s license was also suspended.
Allen kept Knight-Walker’s license in his patrol car, and reapproached the Nissan,
informing Knight-Walker that her license was suspended and that records indicated that she had
received notice by mail. Allen told Knight-Walker that she could not drive the vehicle with a
suspended license and asked her passenger if he had a valid driver’s license. The passenger
indicated that he also could not drive the vehicle. Taking her cell phone in hand, Knight-Walker
said that she would call her son to pick them up. Allen told Knight-Walker that it was her third
offense of driving with a suspended license and that, although this was an arrestable offense, he Jump to an indexed page (23 of 23)
