First, why did you let them search your car?
Second, file a complain with the department for harassment if you are mad.

They didn't even ask me! but Honestly because I did not want to go to jail for something stupid I knew just by the way these guys where acting If I where to try and stop them I'd probably get shot or taser'd these cops where fishing I could clearly tell but honestly It's not worth the mission and as far as filing a report I would love to but I did not get any badge numbers I guess cause I was too tired to even really take in the hole situation till after it happened here when you get pulled over you need to be very careful the way you speak to police officers because they are very quick to pin something on you like resisting arrest or obstruction of justice that is just the way they are...its very easy to tell tell they have a us(officers) against them(citizens) mentality It really sucks but there is really nothing you can do in that position but say yes officer. For example my brother was once arrested because he got pulled over for no reason and he was with his wife the officer began flirting with his wife and my brother did not take kindly to that so he let the officer know "if your gonna write me a ticket write it but dont sit here bash my car(crappy 96 carolla at the time) and try to flirt with my wife she is clearly not interested in you and that led to his arrest for"obstruction of justice" plus a bit of a ruff up on the way to the squad car. He fought it but lost bummer huh?

You're going about it all the wrong way... cops don't get into the job for the opportunity to harass honest citizens... if they do, they won't last long because enough complaints will get filed for them to lose their job.

Be polite and respectful but if they ask to search your car, just ask "am I required to let you search?" - and if you feel they are trying to browbeat you into giving in, just request a supervisor.

I have a feeling they must have asked and you might inadvertently indicated your acceptance (such as 'sure you can look I have nothing to hide!)... I only say that is because even if they found your stash of uncut cocaine, they performed an illegal search and the evidence should be dismissed. Or they'd be in a 'he said she said' about the illegal search.

Cops are pros. Or, you look REALLY suspicious and you should shave your beard.

What I find AMAZING is that it took the a 1/2 hr to determine nothing was in your car.... A five minute sweep shoulda covered it ad nauseum!

Gotta love the formula though. Give people big cars with big engines, roads with wide lanes that could easily handle high speeds, and then set a speed limit that is about 15-30mph too slow to be a "maximum" speed (depending on the road).

That way, everyone drives faster than the speed limit by default. And then the police have the option of pulling over whoever they want.

Seriously, if you drive 55 on the interstate around Atlanta, you will die. In practice, it's 70 minimum, but 80 is standard.

yeah I know I think they just where taking their time to really try and find something(I guess I must look like a criminal or something?) and at the same time mess with me cause I kept telling them they where wasting their time looking and that I had to be at work at 8 If we could go our separate ways already

no cop is getting into my car to search for no reason. They can get a search warrant and we can both stand there all day long till it gets there. Then i will follow up with a harassment complaint.

I live in California. California is going broke. Passing is like instant ticket. I'd rather pull over for a snack break and then get on the road.

Yeah but there is a lot of good in NOVA... lots of business... lots of money. Not a bad place to live as long as you're making good money and can really afford to live here. The cops aren't really that overpaid for an area like this, IMO. Officers start at around $48k and it requires a 4 year degree of some sort.

eh, I much prefer living down here is sunny FL.

btw, it's been hotter up there where y'all are than down here recently. My mom's been bitching about the heat to me for the last few weeks. Must be that damn global warmning.
