When the officer took me in, I blew a 0.0 as I stated earlier. The cop was pretty mad, he kept saying the machine was broke. I failed the field test horribly like I knew I would. He kept saying something about an officer coming in doing a more specialized sobriety test. In the end he gave me a ticket for reckless driving and a lecture about how he just knew I wasn't telling the truth.
What you're describing is NOT an arrest. You may have reason to be aggrieved that he did not request an ambulance for your injury, but nothing about what you've described screams of a 4A or 5A violation to me. Btw...there are lots of cops love to lecture and berate and generally make the citizens before them feel like dirt - but this isn't a violation of your rights.

Another thing that upset me, he had his gf/wife with him the whole time. Our wonder police system.
If he was off duty at the time he arrived at the scene, isn't that to be expected? What was he supposed to do with her?
