Sorry to hear about your troubles, Beachballer. Maybe there was more to it than meets the eye. Not judging you AT ALL, but maybe something else was going on that you didn't or couldn't know about??
Yup...same here.
I've been stopped many times in my 10+ years of living here (only mentioning the length of time to understand the possible number of stops) ...I've never had any issues...and in a couple of cases I appreciated the stop as they were looking out for me.
