stopped me and my wife at midnight and patted me down and dog searched the vehicle for illegal immigrants and drugs....

the only illegal immigrants I had was my cat and the only drug I had was caffeine......

but the whole time I was stopped, they treated me like a criminal, telling me to keep my hands out of my pockets, look straight ahead not at them, and generally felt like at any moment and at the whim of this twenty something year old that I could be in some lock-down doing time with jimmy the loafer.....it is a weird world we live in and is only getting weirder by the day.....
