Thank you modernmind for your comprehensive replies, you even covered several I hadn't thought of! Thanks also to everyone else who contributed. I think we can now consider the topic closed unless anyone else has any last-minute additions to make.

Well I don't think the truckies I've heard talking about it are lying, not if they state it actually happened to them. Anyway this thread is about being pulled over for non-traffic violations.
