Something similar happened to me once, though I ended up leaving unscathed. I had just returned from visiting my friend a state away and had just taken a passenger ferry. I had my dog with me, who was sleeping in the passenger seat at the time, and the back of the car was full of luggage.

Of course, as I’m about to get home I get pulled over and suspected of drinking. I hadn’t had a single drop to drink that day and explained to them that I was just getting home. Of course the pigs take my info and interrogate me on the side of the road for like 20 minutes trying to get a confession that never came.

The pigs kept trying to put words into my mouth. They kept insisting that I had been on a party ferry (with my dog somehow), and kept implying that my dog was dangerous (she was asleep). I legitimately feared they were trying to fabricate a reason to shoot her.

Finally, they return to their cop car and spend ages doing whatever it is pigs do in their mobile pen. I assume talking and checking my background for any criminal activity (I have none).

Finally they return in a huff, give me my license, and send me off
