If cops are going to pull people over without there being a traffic violation or actual evidence that a crime was commited they can't get mad when people give them a bunch of shit during the stop. I have personaly pulled into empty parking lots to make a call, return a text or to find directions on my phone to somewhere. I would be pretty shitty if I got pulled over for it.Just a few points...I believe it was mentioned earlier but PC is no longer the standard for "involuntary police interaction". Reasonable suspicion is. It's a far lower standard and does not necessarily require a violation of the law to be used. Example: A car leaving a shopping center parking lot at night in which all of the businesses are closed...there would be reasonable suspicion for an officer to stop and investigate the vehicle even though the vehicle may not have committed any traffic or criminal offense.
I cannot speculate on OPs interactions. I know the OP is saying he is detailing everything and not leaving everything out...and I'm not saying that he is not, but I've done this long enough to know there is always 3 sides to every story. OPs side, the other side and finally the truth which usually is somewhere in the middle.
I think people watch too much TV. If you feel you have been wronged, file a complaint. It's not going to get you "marked". Cops get complaints filed against them all the time. Generally, an administrator type or IA officer will handle complaints against officers unless you live in some backwoods community where the department is run by Jim Bob and his brother Ricky Lee. There is usually a massive disconnect between the admin officers and the patrol/street cops. These guys make their careers on dinging cops....that's what they are tasked with. So if there is a policy violation or a criminal violation, trust me...they will get a hard on to get the guy/girl. It's not 1960 anymore.
