"hmmm whats that looks like this" if they are going to pull you over they should have to know what they are looking at .
They need "reasonable suspicion" otherwise, it is an unlawful detainment. Nevertheless, almost any excuse has/will be considered "reasonable suspicion".

Reasonable suspicion is evaluated using the "reasonable person" or "reasonable officer" standard, in which said person in the same circumstances could reasonably believe a person has been, is, or is about to be, engaged in criminal activity; such suspicion is not a mere hunch. Police may also, based solely on reasonable suspicion of a threat to safety, frisk a suspect for weapons, but not for contraband like drugs. A combination of particular facts, even if individually innocuous, can form the basis of reasonable suspicion.
