"I Didn't Run a Stop Sign" - Then Cop Says His License Is Suspended and Tows the Rental

A rental-car stop begins with two stated reasons: a stop sign and a window that is too dark. The driver announces he is Black and asks before reaching for his ID, then says there is a knife in the car. Minutes later the officer says the license is suspended and the car must be towed. Later he reads Miranda warnings and puts the driver in a patrol car while saying, "I will not arrest you."
