I can't put his tense in words because this is text but the sentence "is this your car" is not the same as professionally asking is this your car. As if he just assumed it wasn't mine.

Oh and if I may add, this place wasnt "known" for meth till after the National Geo and A&E broadcasts. Since Floridians like to call Portsmouth home and sell 90 day supplies of Oxycodine and such for $200 and a signature.
First off, Portsmouth is hardly a big city. And whether or not it was "known" by the public (through TV) as a hotbed of meth activity, it was known to local DEA (and other police) of it's illegalities. Also, curfew or not, driving around at any time of of the wee hours (especially in a "drug town") is surely to draw some attention. It may not be warranted, but it could happen. Personally, I would be happy if I was a law-abiding citizen living in such a town and knew that the police were out there looking for folks involved. Lastly, I don't understand the act of being an asshole to cops. Why intentionally make matters worse? If you know you're good, just go through the motions and be on your way. Later, QD.
