Sent you a PM. Think Election YEAR. Get to know the Candidate. Make a small donation to his/her campaign if you like what you find out!

I am an active LEO and from what you are describing as to the behavior of the officers/deputies I would not deem it appropriate. Guessing it may have been a group of rookies that wanted to through their weight around. In regards to the citation, I would research it before you attempt to fight it. In my state/jurisdiction the State Statute is listed on the citation. Look it up and honestly think about you actions that night intentional or not and see if your actions fit the "elements" of the statute. If not then it may be worth it to "fight" it. If your actions do fit the "elements" you may be best to let it lay. If they do not "fit" and you wish to fight it then take the print out of the statute with you and explain it to the judge. That being said most judges in my area only allow the "violator" to ask yes or no questions to the officer when it comes to traffic court.

Respectfully,
