My friend and I were on our way home from Bunko last night
and she passed me and wrecked in the ditch ahead of me.
When I got to her she seemed ok so I told her we should go
get her husband to pull her out of the ditch. The people
who live in behind the ditch called the police, so we were
pulled over as I was taking her home. The officer asked me
if I was involved in the accident and I said no. Then he
looked across me to her and said how about you do you know
anything about it? She did not talk so they took her out
to another car and then the office took me to the back of
my truck and told me he didn't want to play my games and
gave me some follow the finger test and then stand on one
foot test. He yelled at me for not following his
directions on the test so I did it a second time and
managed to stand on one foot in halloween costume shoes
and then he gave me a breathalizer.He then arrested me but
on my charges he charged me for DUI and resisting arrest.
I at no time resisted. He said I put my fists up to him
but I did not. How can I prove this? Do they have cameras
in their patrol cars to record who they pull over? Can I
request a copy. This would prove I did not resist
anything. He said You are under arrest and told me to turn
around. I did just what he asked. Later in jail I asked
why he was so mad at me and I asked what I had done. He
just got pissed and told me he didn't like to play little
word games and insisted that I lied to him. The jerk put
me in shackels in the jail cell. My friend wasn't cuffed
until the later transported. Why was I treated so
differently?HELP!
