The basic answer is yes. Since 9/11 and the new laws a police officer or Govt. Agency can hold you for 24hrs. without charging you. If you feel they did this just out of spite with no apologies from the the detaining officer then you have to get a lawyer and file a claim with the F.B.I. make it a Federal Case and have them investigated for Racial Profiling during a traffic stop. Yes they do keep statistics on these types of incidents. On a more local level if it is a city police officer, start at the top, report it to the mayors office first because the Chief of Police answers to the mayor and City Council. Then report it to the chief of Police, then report it to Internal Affairs if they have one. If it is a County Sheriffs officer report it to the County Sheriffs office and internal affairs. County Sheriffs are normally elected officials so they have an Internal Affairs Office which is a permanent position that stays no matter who the county sheriff is.

If a police officer pulls you over and suspects you have drugs or alcohol in your system you will have to take a test. What law is this?
This is typically covered under implied consent laws, which state that by using public roadways a driver agrees to submit to chemical tests to determine their blood alcohol concentration or drug presence if lawfully requested by a police officer. Refusing to take such tests can result in penalties such as license suspension.

A police officer supposedly saw you speeding on the opposite side of the road and thirty minutes later you got pulled over by a different cop because of the first cop is this possible?
I know in my expierience with law enforcement it's called a speed trap, however, I have never heard of a situation where the person speeding was pulled over 30 minutes later. That is a big gap leaving room for error in vehicle tracking. But to answer your question one police officer running radar may have you locked in as speeding when you pass his location and pass it on over the radio to another officer down the road. I work on a military installation and we have had speed enforcement events where we would have one police officer shooting radar and a another police officer directing the vehicles speeding into a parking lot and another police officer cutting the tickets.
