§ 6308. Investigation by police officers.
* * *
(b) Authority of police officer.--Whenever a police officer
is engaged in a systematic program of checking vehicles or
drivers or has reasonable suspicion that a violation of this
title is occurring or has occurred, he may stop a vehicle, upon
request or signal, for the purpose of checking the vehicle's
registration, proof of financial responsibility, vehicle
identification number or engine number or the driver's license,
or to secure such other information as the officer may
reasonably believe to be necessary to enforce the provisions of
this title. No Commonwealth agency or political subdivision may
accept Federal funds to establish a systematic program of
checking vehicles or drivers based on stopping only a particular
type of vehicle, such as a passenger car, truck or motorcycle.
Notwithstanding this subsection, Federal funding may be accepted
if a program stops only commercial motor vehicles, as defined in
section 1603 (relating to definitions).
