Yeah sure I could have done all that. Lots of sixteen year old kids are fully cognizant of their civil rights and willing and able to articulate how they've been violated and follow through with a formal complaint to the relevant authority.

And assuming I was and had done all those things, I guess you missed the part where he just says i 'looked suspicious' and then it's a 16 year old kid's word against a cops.
