What would have happened then? Well for one he'd would have found absolutely no contraband or firearms in my vehicle (all I had was myself, my dog, and some luggage from the 2-day trip.) Then likely he would have called up the YCSO K-9 unit to sniff for stuff - still would have found nothing, probably cuffed me up, ran my license for any violations, found none, and probably would have realized that I was in fact telling the truth and would have made an even bigger ass of himself. I would have just complied and answered any questions truthfully. Even if he didnt know me, someone from the SO probably would have and would have backed up my statement.
But I have to admit, he probably thought I was fleeing and was trying to formulate an escape plan when that wasnt the case at all. In the police academy they are made to be aware of any sudden changes in the situation whether it is good or bad.
If things did get serious - which they didnt, I would have contacted the ASP Headquarters and filed a complaint and the officer probably would have been investigated and the whole thing of course on tape, and it also would have been reviewed. And after many interviews statements and whatnot, I would have come out in the right, asked for monetary reimbursement of lost wages, and sought damages incurred due to the embarrassment of being accused of fleeing and being charged as a hardened criminal. The officer would have been suspended until the investigation was complete.
