Some years ago in Kenton Tennessee I got pulled over for expired tags. I explained that I had just purchased the car the day before and had not had a chance to get to the courthouse yet.
They claimed that it was standard procedure to bring out the dog on a registration issue but that sounded like a load of doo doo to me
They kept saying the dog was alerting on the driver side door of the car. I didn't have anything on me. It could be the guy I bought the car from had been smoking weed in there and the dog was still smelling it
Anyway they detained me for 45 minutes searching my car trying to find something
I had a bottle of Dr prescribed hydrocodone in my pocket. They asked me what I was doing with the hydrocodone. If it's in a bottle with my name on it, it's none of their beeswax what I'm doing with it
One of them was friendly and conversational why the other one was rude and combative
Almost as if they were doing the good cop bad cop routine to try to get me to volunteer information when I didn't have anything on me.
After 45 minutes of finding nothing, they issued me a citation for the registration and let me go.
Not saying all cops are like this but it seems like these cops were just bored and wanted someone to mess with
