Today I was pulled from Mechanicsville Turnpike by a Hanover officer who was sitting in a parking lot. I have never even seen a Hanover officer up close before as I have never been in any criminal trouble ever! He followed me around the block and turned his lights on. I pulled into the Wells Fargo parking lot where the officer jumped out of his car, smacked my car and came to my window. I rolled down my window and he stuck his head in and sniffed around. He didn't ask for license or registration. He said that he thought he smelled weed coming from my vehicle. I simply said "I don't smoke." He said "I know, I have to get the person I think it is" as he walked away. He made a u-turn and parked where he was previously parked. Once I called to file a complaint, Officer Tilley said that it's the same as if the officer would have pulled me over if he misread my inspection sticker. This has nothing to do with an inspection sticker. He totally blew off the whole thing and never apologized for wasting my time. The way everything was handled was very unprofessional and inappropriate.
