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?

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

    Not everyone who is wrong is lying.

      Nah. Cops writing tickets don’t that leeway. If they aren’t 100% certain of an infraction like this, they shouldn’t be stopping the driver. His doubling down after being shown proof establishes that he is willing to lie.
