An officer CAN NOT pull you over for a "routine check". It is against the law!

An officer requires probable cause or reasonable suspicion to stop a vehicle...

A traffic violation, equipment violation, plate or a saftey violation.

Again, an officer CAN NOT stop you just because. He/she requires a lawful reason. A stop is a "seizure" of that person.

Another thing...driving another 60 seconds will piss me off! Unless you do not stop immediately, I will deem other reasons (hiding something, retrieving a gun or other weapon IE stalling) If you pull over safely and the officer directs you otherwise is the best option.
