Kunne dette være vi ble stanset av politiet? Hvis ikke, hva er forskjellen mellom stanse og stoppe?

Yes you could use "vi ble stanset av politiet".
As I see it, "stanse" is a more old-fashioned word, that I can't say I hear a whole lot anymore. "stanse" is also a more posh/fancy word in a sense, while "stoppe" is more down to earth.
