Can cop charge with driving on suspended if i was not caught in the act?

[reinqd]

My car broke down in Virginia and I was outside of the car trying to fix it and a cop came up behind me. when i told him my license was suspended he cited me. Can he still do that if he did not physically catch me in the act? I was advised by a legal secretary that if you are not physically caught in the act that the case might be able to be dismissed. Is this true?

**A: so who then actually drove the car to the location where it broke down, The Fairy godmother?

They can charge you. They might not get a conviction but they can still charge you.
