Swoosh!The cop was totally running him on everything he could think of
What the fuck are you talking about?
1) You couldn't possibly know what the cop was running
2) There aren't options. They phone in all pull overs and there is a standard check. There aren't options where they keep checking other things
Anecdotal arguments are the worse. If you feel the cop was inappropriate, do nothing on the scene but follow all the cops instructions immediately and fully. Get his badge number and report him later. Tell them what you saw.
Sure, there are bad cops out there. But don't make shit up like he had a secret list of additional checks he could run, that was just stupid
You're pretty good at missing the point. Or, rather, deliberately steering around it.
Swash, you missed another one:
1) That you read minds was a terrible argument and totally undercut your credibility
2) You handled it inappropriately
So seriously, why didn't you get his badge number and report what you witnessed? Just wanted to be offended, not do anything?
