I did the side of the road circus act as a teenager with 4 squad cars as an audience. Apparently, they had been looking for me for several hours and weren't happy about a dumb shit teenager out smarting them earlier in the night. Those tests are hard enough, but doing them in the middle of a squad car headlight circle on an inclined on ramp makes you sweat like a whore in church.
I answered "How much have you had to drink tonight" with "Absolutely nothing", which was the ****ing truth, and it went down hill from there. They found shit in that 4 door truck cab and tool box I didn't even know I still had and scared the living shit out of the girlfriend I had with me. One of the poor bastards even sorted through what must have been 200 empty pop cans, beer cans, and beer bottles in the back trying to earn me a minor in possession. It took over an hour before I got the "Have a nice morning & drive safe" from the only one of the bunch that was respectful.
I don't believe I broke a single law that night and could have saved myself a lot of harassment if I had even had a basic understanding of how to handle the situation.
