I work at a tobacco shop. And after they said I blown through a stop sign. When asked when drinking I said no. Then he said I smelled, and I quote, “of something suspicious”. I get cops get their paycheck for tickets and such but seriously has it really gotten this bad that for a ticket they try to make it something bigger? and ignoring my rights?

        I didn’t think flock was involved in that. The point though was the officer just plain lied, and when faced with evidence, he doubled down.
        And yes. Officer need to have individual malpractice insurance in my opinion.

          Not necessarily a lie, but (allegedly) mistaken would produce the same result.

          Not everyone who is wrong is lying.
