The cops pulling someone over for starbucks cards is a ruse..
It gives an excuse to look for anything in plain sight, or to check for the Smell of booze etc..
Or to threaten to call the dogs if you don't agree to a search etc..
They are not stopping you to give you a ticket, they are stopping you to reward you, which in someones eyes probably removes the need for probably cause.. Yes I am very cynical about these dunder heads..

In partial response to Kip:

What's the deal with the word "puissance"? China Mieville is inexplicably fond of it, too, though I like his writing enough to overlook it. It's a fine word, but you should only get to use in once in any single book.
