(1,689 posts)(which was bogus BTW) but I had just guzzled one beer (yes the proverbially one beer).
I was given a field sobriety test and was mocked for saying the alphabet wrong. I followed a child hood system of
Abcdefghijklmnop....pqrtsuvwxyz (repeating the p) and he ridiculed me for that. He had also said something about me not following orders very well. I responded "as a father of 4, a boss and as a Little League coach I am more used to giving orders than following them". That didn't appear to go over too well. He finally did the little follow the flashlight in the eyes thing and I said "I passed that didn't I". To which he said "yes but you have one more test to take." Which was the breathalyzer. And I passed. I recall he called my name into the office over the radio but mispronounced it and I then ridiculed him for that. He didn't seem to like that either.
One other irritating thing about this pull over was one of the two troopers said something like "Well it's a good thing your buddy wasn't driving" . My buddy was my father in law who hadn't had anything to drink at all.
