Really good Lord! Abuse of power my ass you were driving with a broken tail light. It's no excuse that the shop is closed you shouldn't have been driving. It's always amusing listening to people from America talking about this sort of thing you know? People who harp on about free speech or police abuse of power while taking these concepts for granted. God knows what would happen if you lived in a third world country where the police really are corrupt and can do what they like, throw you in a cell and let you rot there for no reason, immune from any recourse like "going to City Hall". You are being quite pathetic really having a go at a policeman for following routine and protocol, like asking you to return to the car (a safety issue) and breathalysing you. Then as others pointed out a jerk for texting while the the officer is addressing you. If you don't treat others with the respect they deserve don't be surprised if you don't get shown much respect in return. God Bless the entitlement culture!
