How am I supposed to believe that I'm not being detained? >> This driver was pulled over and asked why he was being stopped, pointing out that he was now stuck on the side of the road for no clear reason. The officer said it was for a well-being check, but the driver had been driving normally and broke no rules. Under the law, an officer needs a valid reason to stop someone, usually tied to a possible crime or violation. In this situation, the officer admitted there was no violation and no suspected crime. Yet, the stop still continued. A well-being check by itself is not enough to justify pulling someone over, which raises the question of why the driver was stopped in the first place.
