I don't understand why people think that a police officer is going to waste his time breathalyzing someone unless A: they do feel that the person may be impaired or B: you were a right cunt to them and they've specifically decided to waste your time.
So if as you claim you were polite to the officer and based on what you said that after receiving zero result from the breathalyzer the officer's demeanor changed then that leads me to believe that he was surprised to discover that you had not been drinking and that he must have had his valid suspicions to have breathalyzed you in the first place. I feel strongly that there must have been an odour that piqued his interest when he came up to your car. If you already were pulled over like you said, and had your window down when he approached the vehicle then I would say there is a good chance that something outside of your car had a bit of a smell to it and could have been misinterpreted to have come from your vehicle.
Like I said at the start, and in most threads that I post in here: police officers are not out to ruin your day intentionally and almost always have a valid reason for doing whatever is being complained about here. By chance do you have air fresheners in your vehicle or were chewing gum at the time?
