The stop amounts to, "Hey we're doing a study and we'll pay you to participate but you don't have to if you don't want to." "No thanks I'm busy and need to get to my destination." "Okay, have a nice day."
This study is going on across the country and similar studies have been done for decades.

That Texas story is a serious WTF.
No kidding, holy shit. Time to sue the police officers involved, I'd say. Voluntary survey, my ass, after a cop forces you to pull over.
Are they even allowed to pull you over in uniform if they're not on duty?
fucking ass federal government.

A death on a day of celebration is a hard thing to deal with. My father's on mine, and my mother's on my sisters birthday.
