Had a cop throw me to the ground in the parking lot at a Widespread Panic show in Montgomery back in 1997. I had a beer but I was 21. As they came through the lot, I made a smartass "Whoa here comes the pigs" comment and he quickly ran over and put me on the ground and then searched me. Luckily, all my drugs were in the car and I wasn't drunk.
He let me up and I apologized. I actually shook his hand and then went on to have a damn good night.

Honestly sounds like you were just trouble considering how many times they kept coming back to you. I grew up there as well and the man you are referring to did not “slap teenagers around.” I’ve seen him do some great things for people while he was a cop.
if you don't think small town cops go after people simply because of their name, then you are an idiot.

No sir, yes sir.
Ok, thank you.

I was detained 2 times in one night. My car and name matched the description of an escaped convict from TN. I was headed home from Germantown, TN to Oxford when I was pulled over. With no explanation, I was pulled out of the car, cuffed, and put in the back of the patrol car. After about an hour, I was released with a very brief explanation about the confusion. 20 minutes later I was pulled over again. I was pulled from the car, cuffed, and put in the back of the patrol car. This one took another hour, but the explanation was more thorough.
Turns out the report came from a policeman friend of an ex-girlfriend. She saw me on a date in Germantown and wanted to inflict some pain.
I never found out what happened to the two of them, but they were charged. I had to provide a victim statement for the judge.

Probably my first interaction with them. I was 16 and was driving home after midnight. I had not been drinking or doing anything wrong, and I knew the cops liked to camp out at the high school and pull people over, so I made sure I was going 25mph.
He pulled me over anyway and started giving me a ton of questions and a lot of attitude. He told me to get out of the car, and when I did, he saw a hunting knife between my seat and the door. He accused me of having a concealed weapon. I told him it was not concealed and pointed out that he saw it with no problem. He said he was going to confiscate it. I said something along the lines of, "Like hell you are." It was a knife my uncle had given to me. He told me he was taking it to the station and to go home. I followed him to the station and raised hell with the desk sergeant for over an hour. I finally got the knife back and went home.
When I got home, I woke up my folks to explain why I was out so late. My mom called the police chief, woke him up, and gave him a piece of her mind.
There have been plenty of times when I was plenty guilty, but that was not one of them. I wasn't speeding, all lights were working, wasn't drinking, and didn't have anything in the car.

Not me, but my dad when he was younger was mistaken as a guy who inappropriately hit on some Minor [both had red shirts on]. Apparently the police roughed him up pretty good just to find out they had the wrong man. This was prior to everyone having cameras at their fingertips.

Cop was camped out across from a bar I was in. Was drinking water, zero alcohol. Pulled me over, claimed multiple violations. Said I failed tests. Got thrown in jail for the night.
Fast forward: got charges dropped, cop fired and won a six figure lawsuit. VERY true story. Thank god for audio/video footage

In 2008, we thought my daughter had been kidnapped from our backyard. Turns out she'd run away, but we didn't know that for about two hours. It was right around 7 in the morning. Out of 120ish police cruisers that were regularly on patrol in Shreveport, 60 of them were looking for my daughter. Including a lot of officers who stayed over their shifts from the night before.
Around 10:30 a unit spotted her a few neighborhoods over.
I've had some less than ideal interactions with cops. But, I have nothing bad to say about them.

That doesn't sound bad at all. As a matter of fact, wish it would happen to me.

got my arse handed to me by Thibodaux PD.
slammed face first into the trunk lid of his car, arms wrenched around back, cuffed, and hurled into back seat.
all for being in the exact wrong spot at the exact wrong time.

Meh, other than going to college have been apart of the city my entire life I would consider myself very successful and have multiple business transactions with other owners in said town. Mugshot was posted on the local mugshot fb page. Very embarrassing for family (hence the higher lawsuit number). A night in jail is no good.

Rustin cops can EAD. A long ago Saturday morning and someone had shot the front window with a BB gun overnight. Small hole outside and nickel size blow out on inside. Cops called. Cops says shot came from inside the store. I happened to be up front and said it was from the outside. My uncle had the same damage on his back door from neighbor kids. Cops insisted it was inside and I knew something about it. Ended up in the front seat of the patrol car for arguing with the cop. Supervisor gets there and states shot came from outside. I gave cop a big smile and went on about my day. That's when I learned the cops first priority is to intimidate everyone on scene then go from there.

Pulled over for going 80 on I-12 in Livingston parish with speed limit of 75.
I never knew I-12 had a 75mph speed limit. I thought it was just I-49.

Going through Smithville, GA at night after drinking one beer I got pulled over by a black police chief. I was cited for speeding 5 mph over limit and not having a current insurance card. I had insurance but not proof. I took a breathalyzer test and blew a zero score.
The traffic stop happened in June. I told the cop that I had insurance. He said that I should appear in court and I wouldn't be fined for that charge. The cop wrote the ticket and told me that my court date was on August 31st. I thought it strange that the court date was so far away. As the weeks went by a couple of times I referred to my carbon copy of the citation to verify the court date.
On August 31st I drove to my court date in Smithville. I walked up to the court building and court was closed. August 31 was Labor Day. I walked back to my car and the police chief pulled up next to me. I asked why he gave me a court date on labor day. He looked at my carbon copy of the ticket and said that it listed a August 3rd court date and that I had missed it.
A day later I drove to Smithville and paid $600 to cover the fines. A asked to see the original copy of my citation to see the court date. The cop had written the date on the original as August 3st, not August 3rd.
I was was tricked into missing my court date by a corrupt cop. I thought about dirty trick that I could play for revenge but never seriously considered doing anything.
Years later I would learn just what a weak chicken shite coward that cop is but that's another long story.

27 in a 25, cop had the ticket written when he came to the window, just needed my license to finish it out. I knew it was a speed trap, so I was actively slowing down at the 25 mph sign. Guess I misjudged it by 20 feet.
When I tried to explain that, he just yelled HAVE A NICE DAY, SIR and tossed the ticket in the window.
Golden Meadow - 15ish years ago, on the way to Grand Isle.
I idled through that mother fricker on the way back, at about 8 mph, too. Had a line of cars behind me, pissed off to the high heavens.

No dumbass, he was indeed being stupid and I would expect a ticket. We made him pay for the stupid $571 this shite cost us.
I’m just shocked they cuffed them and brought them to the jail.
Pensacola cops were hard asses during their spring break, but even they just wrote tickets for this sort of thing.
And I know that at LSU games it’s always just a ticket.

I got arrested at my apartment in college after partying too hard one afternoon. The neighbor called a police buddy on us. The cop choked the shite out of me. A few years later, Internal Affairs called me downtown. They were doing an investigation on an officer for police brutality. They had recordings of him threating to beat me black and blue while I was handcuffed in the back of his car.

About the same as mine. It was around 10 PM one evening when our oldest was like 3 months old and I had to run to the store for something (don't remember what).
As I was pulling into Kroger here in Memphis, 3 unmarked cars come and box my car in literally in front of the entrance to the store with their lights flashing; another 4-5 marked MPD cars came flying up, lights flashing, like 15 seconds later. They're all screaming at me to GTFO out of the car, people are coming out the store to see what's going on.
I was kinda paralyzed and just rolled down my window and said "Uhh...officers...sirs...I think you may have the wrong car, I wasn't even speeding or anything"; one of the officers ran up to my window, looked at me and poked his head in to be able to see the back seat, said "drive home safe" and not another word was said by anyone.
