Police have to have reasonable suspicion of criminal activity to make a traffic stop. The reasonable suspicion doesn't have to turn out to prove criminal activity; all that is required is that the officer had a reasonable belief something criminal was happening. For example, if a police officer believed you looked like a person wanted for a serious crime, he could stop you to check your identity. Even though you're not the wanted person, if the officer discovers other criminal activity during the stop (suspended license, open containers of alcohol, stolen property, etc.), he can make an arrest or issue a citation for those charges. The charges will be just as valid as if he had seen you driving at 100 miles per hour.

Can you rent a car from Enterprise with a suspended license?

You can not legally drive a car if your license is suspended. So you will not be able to rent a car from anyone. That's not really true. Car rental companies don't really have a system to check the status of your driving record. Although yes it is illegal, its not impossible to get car on suspended license. Example: My mother rented car in TX and was pulled over and officer told her her license was suspended from VA. She didn't knowingly drive on suspended license. No ticket was given because she was out of state driver.
