Just as a wild what-if: a call may have come in for something involving a car similar to yours (let's say, for the sake of argument, a hit-and-run), so as you were waiting in line, the one officer agreed to talk to you and check your license while the other inspected your car for damage from a distance - in other words, some reason for the second officer to do a little discrete observation.

The first officer may have already been on edge if your car matched the description of one involved in a hit-and-run (he doesn't know if you're going to bolt again), and if he's still waiting for his partner to give the all-clear, he may be even more perturbed at being rushed to let you go. This would be about the point he'd go over, chat with his partner, be told that there's no visible damage, and figure you're not the droids they're looking for.

Now obviously I wasn't there, and I don't know that anything even remotely like this is the case... but by the same token, you weren't there before you rolled up, and you weren't a party to the two cops' conversation, so you don't know the circumstances surrounding your stop or what might have led to this particular sequence of events. As such, you're not in any position to judge the officers.

In the end, you were cleared and they let you go about your day - no harm, no foul. Get over it.

Reminds me of the time when I was heading down to the USA, and got "randomly selected". There were two cars there (Aldergrove). Both blue Fords.

Coincidence?
