There might be a probable cause issue but it depends on the police report of the stop. An attorney can look at all the issues. If you need help with this contact my office at 248.705.3742 or www.schmierlaw.com

He didn't pull you over because of the anonymous tip, he ran your name or plate through his computer and then he pulled you over because he then absolutely knew you were DWLS.

You have no case based on probable cause. Actually, you have no case period - either you're DWLS or you're not.

A lawyer might be able to get you a break.
