[QUOTE="Brandi, post: 2587128, member: 24446"] If that's the actual facts of the stop, the people who get stopped often generalize what happened turning something that was completely legal into something illegal. However, assuming he told you exactly what happened I would go to EPD and file a complaint. He doesn't need a badge number or name, there will be record of the traffic stop on file so don't let them tell you otherwise. All you need is the time, date and tag number and they can determine who the officer was. I'm a former LEO and I wouldn't let this go. IF he was completely factual about the details it was an illegal stop and making everything after it illegal including the search of the car and the pat down. That officer needs to be held accountable for his actions. That said I would double check with your son that what he told you was exactly how it happened so you don't go in there and find out otherwise. Again, assuming, what your son said was factual, I would be all over this. During my time as a LEO, I'd say 95% of all the LEO's I knew were all stand up people who did it the right way but that 5% that didn't made everyone look bad. These guys don't get canned because most people just complain about their interaction with the officer at home but don't file complaints or don't keep after the department to do something. Any officer can make mistakes and we citizens have to understand that but what we are talking about here isn't a mistake it's obviously an intentional illegal use of authority. Don't let it slide, bad LEO's have to be held accountable. [/QUOTE]
