  • SCPD (Long Island, NY) literally did this to me once. They pulled me over and "interrogated" me for 20-30m on the side of the road. I say "interrogated" because they were putting words in my mouth and making up a narrative, even implying that my sleeping dog was dangerous. Eventually they gave up and let me go without charge.

    Another time the fuckers gave me 5 tickets for driving without insurance, while holding my valid insurance in their hand. That was a fun one to fight in court. Spoiler: I won.
