Re: research pretext stops

You will need to do the same thing required of attorneys. File a motion for dismissal based upon a pretext stop.

Your motion is based upon constitutional protections (federal and state) against unlawful seizures. Research case law on pretext stops to learn what constitutes a pretext stop, e.g. search "pretext stop" and "washington state".
