Is it legal if I got a suspended license but got pulled over in someone's vehicle for no reason?

I'm curious if cops can just regularly run your name, not license plate and vehicle tags, your name. I was recently pulled over because a police officer drove by me ran my name without me breaking any laws while I was fishing, discovered I didn't have a valid license waited for me to get in my car. I went to the gas station, left and got pulled over. Cop stated I didn't have a license and I said no. After my ticket, he admitted to have seen me driving prior times but since it's officer’s discretion on who they pull over, they can stop who they want. I’m not against police but wow, I felt this was kind of pushing their limits. I know I was driving illegally, but he had no reason as I hadn't committed any crime to run my name because he's ticketed me before, and see if I had a license or warrants. I didn't do anything. I was fishing when he was watching me. He had no proof I even drove until I left.
