I'm an officer in Maryland and I can tell everyone that I will stop u for anything I can reference traffic violations but I will not give u ticket. We use the violation as probable cause for the stop to look for bigger and better things. Drugs guns dead bodies ect. I write warnings if nothing is found. Not all officers are like this though, so if you are not a drug dealing thug all u need to do is be nice and apologize for whatever you did. If your car is full of equipment violations expect to get stopped.

Good cop! I friend (a former cop) now a race car driver, had the same approach.

Seconded! I let people go all the time for even the most blatant traffic infractions, as long they own up.

Now, if I were to stop you for blowing a red light seconds after it turns red, and you call me a swear word or two, the outcome may be a bit different.
