Is is Justice?

After a week long trial it finally came to an end. An incident that occurred oh so long ago. March 2 2007 to be exact. It all started when I had to pick up my younger brother and his girlfriend at a friend's house after they had attended a school dance. It was about 130 when my mom woke me up and asked if I can pick them up. Being the good brother and son that I am I went without any argument. Once I picked them up I headed towards my brother's girlfriends house. Yes I admit to driving fast...I always do. I've sign my fair amount of tickets but nothing in my past infractions come close to what occurred that Friday night. As I drove past the Norwalk's sheriff's station going east bound I noticed 3 black and white patrol vehicles coming towards me from the opposite direction. The first one flashed his spot light at me so I slowed down as I came to a stop at the stop sign on Bloomfield. According to the testimony of Deputy Rodriguez I was not swerving, I did not drive reckless, I did not crash and I came to a stop and made a right onto Bloomfield. Ok so far right. Well from the officer's point of view all I was doing is driving a little bit too fast. He estimated me doing 55 in a 35 MPH zone. This is just a estimated amount and he had no proof but his word. Moving on, as I made that right turn we noticed that the Deputy Rodriguez and another Sheriff aka the "UNKNOWN Sergeant" but somehow approved my arrest. So these two cars are coming at me at a high rate speed. How can one determine a speed if they are chasing the car that made a right and was a few blocks out. My parents said thats what caused the altercation with the Sheriff's and yes I agree that it pissed them off that they were in the other direction and they had to bust a U turn to catch up but when I pulled over the fun just had started. The time now is 1:50 AM I know this cause I lowered the radio and lowered all 4 windows at the touch of the control. "TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND PUT YOUR HANDS OUT THE WINDOW" said Deputy Rodriguez. He approached us from the driver side window with his gun which was laser ready on my chest. I notice another officer in the right mirror pointing his gun inside as well. "What do you think your doing flying out like a bat out of hell" Deputy Rodriguez yelled at me. I said what's going on why am I getting pulled over.Get the fuck out of the truck" he yelled as he yanked on the handle trying to open it. He grabbed me and escorted me to the side of his patrol car and asked what am I doing this late and I responded with "I taking my brother's girlfriend home" His reply "BULLSHIT, LOOK AT YOU! YOU MUST BE UP TO SOMETHING YOU LOOK LIKE A TWEAKER aka meth user. I said "hell no". He then placed me in the back of this patrol car and swapped with the UNKNOWN Sgt. Greer while he went into my truck and talk to my brother and his girlfriend.
