What term refers to police stopping a vehicle for a traffic violation?

• A. Public Servant
• B. Cannabis Seizure
• C. Traffic Stop
• D. Written Warning

Answer: (C)

Traffic stop refers to the act of police stopping a vehicle because of a traffic violation. When an officer observes a violation or safety issue, they signal the driver to pull over, identify themselves, and explain the reason. During the stop, the officer may request license, registration, proof of insurance, and may issue a citation, a warning, or take other action. The other terms describe different concepts: a public servant is a broad category of government workers, a cannabis seizure is a specific enforcement action, and a written warning is a possible outcome of a stop, not the action of stopping itself.
