His superior or the judge will see his demeanor when he responds.
They don't want incompetents or bad apples. They have no desire to waste resources on false leads, much less phony ones.

"I would have been insane if this happened to me "
I'm not a cop but I'd expect untoward emotional behavior to be a sign that further investigation is appropriate LOL! Again it's a matter of judgement of one's demeanor.

It all may have been innocent, or reasonable, but he certainly made an error and Jaysun feels it was "bullying" so it would be to everyone's benefit to complain. If the cop doesn't have a pile of complaints he'll at least be encouraged to improve his skills, so even he would benefit.

One can only hope. In the South, criticized as it may be, such a scenario is most likely.

I think you misread me. I hope I would have been very calm, polite and respectful to the officer when he asked to search my car after a pull over for speeding. I have great respect for law enforcement and the very difficult and dangerous job they have.

But in this case, apparently there was no probable cause; the cop asked Jaysun to submit to a search and he politely said no which was well within his rights to do so.

Perhaps offended by that refusal, said officer used a police dog to execute an “external” sniff of the vehicle and interpreted the dog’s response as probable cause to search Jaysun’s body and his car, keeping him detained much longer than warranted for a normal traffic stop and ultimately finding nothing.

Jaysun, from all description did not fit the “profile” of a drug suspect, was not hostile and didn’t act in a suspicious manner from his description of events.

It sounds like a cop with a chip on his shoulder that couldn’t take “no thanks” as no thanks, got pi$$ed and over stepped his constitutional bounds.

And if Jaysun did for some reason merit a search, like he was driving a make and model car that the police were searching for or resembled a suspect they were searching for and that explanation was offered with the request for a search, then perhaps Jaysun might have consented. I probably would have in that case.

But having my rights trampled on makes me justifiably angry and if that alone makes me a suspect then none of us have any rights and the Constitution is just a nice piece of paper in a museum in DC – pretty to look at but as meaningless and vacant as Paris Hilton.
