Being detained is not a violation of one's rights. Relax...

So just to clarify, if there is a report of a stolen car in the area, it is common practice to pull over any similar make and model car, drag the driver out, cuff him, and stuff him into the back of the police car before even running the plate to verify it is the right car? Never realized we were guilty until proven innocent. Also didn't realize that police didn't need a reason to detain someone.
And I also disagree with the "not that we have to" apologize part. I'd say the OP is owed a colossal apology. I'm definitely not saying there is a case worthy of going to court over or anything like that, but I'd say a signed letter from a supervisor would be about right.
