Tragic. But he was not pulled over for air freshener, expired tags is why he was pulled over.

Further, it was a routine stop UNTIL officers found that he was wanted for failing to appear on charges of illegal possession of a pistol and fleeing from police. Then, it all went to chit. Had that warrant not popped up, I think he would have gotten a ticket for expired registration and maybe air freshener.
Has to be a better way to handle these things.
I've been pulled over for expired tag and expired safety sticker.
