I think once in her entire life.
She has no idea how to deal with cops. She was nervous, fumbling for paperwork, rambling, making all sorts of bizarre statements, answering questions he has not asked etc...
The whole time I'm telling her to shut up and let the man do his job so we can be on our way.
At one point the officer asks me to get out of the car and step to the back.
As we walk to the back he was peering in the windows trying to see what he could see.
Asks if everything is OK because my wife seems really nervous.
Told him it was all good, she's a goodie two shoes and has never been pulled over and unlike me it's a new experience for her.
He accepted that and we were on our way.
Had she been by herself I have no doubt she would have ended up sitting on the side of the road for an hour while they tore the car apart and waited for the canine unit to show up.

so who pays for the damage if they make a mistake and rip up a new car? For all we know, he could be having a bad day or find his wife in bed with a man that look like you and rip you car in pieces. These guys that went through two of my bags basically dumped it all out onto the passenger seat and the floor My stuff was scattered between here and upstate NY. They just left. What if I had something really valuable in the they break it due to a mistake or bad judgement?
