So, pulled over for speeding on my way to work.
Pulled to the side before the lights even came on.
That's besides the point, i know i was speeding and not gonna argue the ticket.

Had anything to drink today?
"No, I don't drink"

Officer somehow "smells beer in the car" after i tell him i don't drink.

Again, I don't drink, there has never been open alcohol in this car, and i'm on my way to work, which i had told the officer politely.

I know damn well the car doesn't smell like beer.

Says hell be right back, i assume he's going to write up the ticket, comes back with a breathalyzer, at this point i'm like are you serious right now.

So i tell him it's gonna say 0, sure enough, 0....

His demeanor changes completely as he realizes hes in the wrong, walks back to car to write up the ticket.

Comes back trying to convince me he's doing me a favor by giving me a normal speeding ticket when it wouldn't have been excessive anyway.

Are officers seriously allowed to blatantly lie about stuff like this?
Makes me want to file a complaint...
