PS... What is a Hypo? I mean, I get that it is a cop, but why do you call it a hypo?
I had to think about it but i think it's short for HIghway POlice ?
Just an opinion but the cop probably thought there was something suspicious about Rog. Maybe it's cause he was driving an old car. He followed him for awhile and ran Rog's plates for any outstanding warrants or prior offenses. After he had a better idea of what he might be dealing with he turned on the blues. A license plate light out, and five miles over the speed limit,gave him probable cause to make the stop.
Turns out he didn't find anything of interest.
Writing him up with a warning establishes probable cause and covers his ass later in case Rog files a lawsuit against the state for invasion of privacy.
