Answer

Unfortunately, you do not have a viable case against the police officer. From the facts you presented, it sounds as if the officer ran your plates and something did not add up. All the officer needs is a reasonable suspicion that you may have committed a crime to pull you over. On the other hand, he would need probable cause to arrest you and he would need a search warrant to search the locked areas of your car.
