“An Oregon State Police Trooper conducted a traffic stop on a silver SUV for a speed violation. During the contact with the male driver, the Trooper became aware the driver did not have a license and the vehicle was not insured. The Trooper also observed signs of intoxication from the driver and alcoholic beverages in the vehicle. The Trooper later discovered the driver’s driving privileges were felony suspended.
