Just want to hear stories so I can mentally prepare myself for such… hostile… interactions… (Hopefully this never happens to me)

P.S: And before anyone start spamming “Don’t Consent to searches”, remember that that’s a very democracy-centric viewpoint. In some countries you could be jailed for refusing.

    I didn’t get searched, but I did get pulled over once and interrogated for about 20 minutes while the cops tried to dig up some reason to ticket me. This was during Obama years, I’m Hispanic and was driving a beat up car.

    The cops implied that I had been drinking (false), I had been on a party boat (also false, I was on a transport ferry and couldn’t even go inside because of my dog), and that my dog was dangerous (she was asleep on the passenger seat), among more.
