He then told me that he was calling the k-9 unit and I would have to wait until he got there. While waiting I decided to call a friend ( who happened to be in law school ), and asked him if what he was doing is legal, he replied yes, BUT he also added that, the officer couldn't legally hold me for longer then 45 minutes, unless the k-9 unit showed up. after about 30-40 minutes I got out of my car, and told the officer I'd be leaving in 5 minutes. He wasn't very happy and told me if I left I'd be arrested for fleeing and avaiding, but I added he might want to ask his supervisor, he laughed and went into his cop car, no later then 2 minutes he got out of the car, and handed me a warning and told me to be on my way. shit.
