Has anybody seen the first five minutes of Super Troopers? The kids in the car no doubt felt the cops had mind reading powers.
"you know how fast you were going?" "65?" "63." [kid freaks out]
"you feeling ok?" "yes sir" "did you say 'yes sir' or yeah sure'?" [kid freaks out]
I imagine that's how most of these stories go in real life. Cop's a bit of a jerk, victim freaks out and imagines all sorts of terrifying threats. And of course the story always gets better in the telling.
