After, I got pulled over the cop came to the car and started asking for car documents and asked if we had smoked marijuana or if we are carrying marijuana in the car since I guess he got the smell. We told him yes we are carrying. I wasn't talking much and I was wearing sun glasses. He asked me why I wasn't talking and asked me if I can understand him, I did say yes. He asked me to pull down my sun glasses and told I'll have to take few tests on the road. He made follow his finger with my eyes – I did that. Made me walk in a straight line (asked me to take 9 steps. I had a bit of confusion while walking if he had told me 9 or no – I tried to reconfirm with him but he didn't respond as he had already told me and asked me if I had any doubts before starting) and stand on one leg for 30 seconds and when you feel it's over tell him. Officer had asked me if I drank alcohol or no? I told him I had one sip of a breezer. After all the road tests got over he handcuffed me and told that I need to perform few tests on you at the hospital and take you to the jail, take few photographs and I would leave you. I was sitting in police car with my hands cuffed at the back and the cop told my friend to tell me the same thing which he told which was take you to the jail, take few photographs and I would leave you. In the cop car, started driving to the hospital where they took my blood test and after the tests, the officer cuffed my hands from behind to front and said this is because you seem like a nice guy. I did plead him apologies and to leave me but he said he can't as it's his duty to do this. Once we were in the detention center, the officer made me wait for a 30 mins before he gave me the yellow clothes to wear. There was one more guy who came after me and he changed and was taken inside. I guess the officer was talking to his seniors. From what I overheard, he told his senior that I feel he's fine but he's admitting that he has had alcohol. I am 75% sure that he said that to his senior and after that they took all my things and gave me those yellow clothes and put me in the detention center with 6-7 other people till the court hearing next afternoon.
