What do you mean by "secondary offense"?

It is a misdemeanor criminal offense in the state of CA to drive with a suspended license. And, yes, you CAN be stopped solely because of your driving status is known to be suspended.

But what if it is not known? What if you're pulled over randomly? If so, it begs to be challenged.

If you are pulled over without cause then the detention would be unlawful anyway.

Can you explain what you meant by the term "secondary offense"?

If the officer makes any lawful contact with you and then finds you are operating a vehicle without a proper license, you're as good as done.
