What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? maine
so here it is i was driving home from work the other night around 10pm took a turn on a dark back road there was a state trooper at the stop sign where i turned he ran my plates found out that the owner (me) was revoked and pulled me over just on the basis that the owner (me) was revoked said i fit the description witch untill i pulled over was completely impossible seeing it was 10pm at night on a dark back road and i was in a moving car wearing a winter hat hooded sweatshirt hood off and a big coat over the hooded shirt bundled right up due to no heat in my car so one question i have does the simple fact the owner of the car license revoked enough for articulable reasonable suspicion
second after i pulled over he came to the window i had 2 inches or so down and asked for my info I proceeded to ask why he pulled me over he stated that he ran the plates and it came back the owner was revoked I then refused to give my id do to the fact i felt he had no articulable reasonable suspicion for the stop and stated i felt he was violating my right at this time he ask me a few more times then said that i matched the description of the owner i still felt my right were being violated and asked him to explain how this stop was legal and how its legal to just run my plates (at the time i was unaware it is legal to run random plate checks) he kept refusing to explain my rights on the matter so i asked to speak to his supervisor he then went back to his car and called for back up 2 other police officer showed to the scene and i again asked for them to explain how the stop was not a violation of my right they told me it didnt work like that and that we would talk when i got out of the car not even knowing 100% who i was i had not gave up an id or stated who i was they repeatedly told me that i had to comply or they would break the window and pull me out I stated the fact that before i gave them any info or got out of my car that I would like to know how the stop was not a violation of my right and that i was just trying to understand my right before giving id or leaving my car they refused to explain my rights to me and smashed out my passenger window at this point before i got hurt i stepped out of my car and mind you this I recorded this whole police stop to the point they broke my window I wasnt being agressive and made sure i kept my hand in plan view for my own safety and there comfort I was just trying to understand one why he had reason to run my plates stop me and assume because the car was reg to someone revoked why that was enough means to stop me they refused to explain to me anything and with no true just reason smashed my window out
were any rights violated?
was it legal for them not to explain why they had the right to stop me?
was it legal for them to smash my window out when i was not aggressive and kept my hands in plan view?
any more info and understanding is greatly appreciated
