I've been pulled over countless times leaving bars or driving through campus (back in college) for BS items like "Your front license plate is slightly crooked" or "You were swerving back there" (when I wasn't) or "5mph over the speed limit"

This is SOP for most departments, especially near bars. They look for any little technical violation (license plate light out, etc.), or even the appearance of a violation, to get probable cause to pull you over and check for intoxication. If you're not drunk, they send you on your way and go looking for a new target.
