I am speculating wildly and am the furthest thing for a cop apologist but maybe they were out of state plates and they do a check on those in case it’s someone running?

That sounds like infringing on civil liberties. They can't even ask you for ID unless they suspect you of a crime. Why would they be able to just randomly run plates. Idk, sounds a little "show me your papers" and fascist to me.

Police departments of large cities have cops running plates down side streets all day long. In the country, it’s common to see cops on freeway entrance ramps running plates for cars getting on the freeway.
