Asked me many questions about where I had just been, including the name of the friend at whose house I had just had dinner. When I stated that I was uncomfortable with this line of questioning, they ‘taught me a lesson’ by detaining me for over 45 min, before finally letting me go with a warning to be more cooperative next time.

Several officers gathered around my car for intimidation, and stuck up for each other’s lies. They fabricated accusations (eg. that my eyes look glossy, or that they saw me hide something under my seat) in order to show me that they were in control. (note: I am 33 years old, clean cut, gainfully employed, and never consume drugs or alcohol) It was a very scary experience.
