If the officer did not have a reasonable suspicion that you wre breaking a law, then he may not have had probable cause to arrest you. If you get yrou license reinstated before your court date, the prosecutor may be more likely to work out a plea agreement. If you have counsel, this may be even more likely. If you plan to plead not guilty and contest teh reasonableness of teh stop, you should have an attorney argue the cae for you.

Good luck
