Plenty of times, its called an investigative stop, you need not break a law to be stopped in a vehicle or on foot for that matter. This is not just GA but nationwide as the USSC set this president.
Circumstances may warrant an investigate stop of someone who is doing nothing wrong who may fit the description of some one we are looking for, we may be on a call for a prowler/burglar call, possible description of a suspect is given out, it’s dark and I see you walking down the street in the area you fit the basic description you are getting stopped and ID’ed.
Traffic stop the same, I had a recent call where a car left the scene of a fight, multiple witnesses stated someone in the veh fired shots as the veh sped away.
I stopped a veh fitting the description of the one last scene leaving the scene.
They committed no traffic violation; ironically the veh was occupied by two very stupid individuals who had nothing to do with the initial call, they decided they did not want to be detained “for no reasonâ€.
It started out verbal as I tried to explain the situation, when the driver refused to present ID, the passenger got involved, both got out of the veh. Backup was called, three Georgia State Troopers in the immediate area responded both went to jail for obstruction.
