wow.. so a cop can just walk over to me in my yard while I'm minding my own business, put cuffs on me and hold me for 48 hours?
What kind of country is this?
Ya know if you look at speeding citations it actually has a box "license shown in leui of bail" or something to that effect. MEANING.. you are TECHNICALLY being detained/arrested when you're pulled over for even speeding.
All that aside, I don't think I could have been all smiles and polite about the situation. I would be COMPLIANT.. but I would be very angry about it and would ask more than one officer for an explanation at the earliest opportunity.
