I do however respectfully demand to know why I was stopped, to which you'll always hear the same excuse...a random breath test!

The cops often make assholes out of themselves though, it's that little voice in their head that tells them they're better than everyone else. Well excuse me, police are humans too & I treat them as such, not some almighty powerful entity who has godly power of my free will.

If the police stop you, they must give you a valid reason. If they take your licence & sit in their car for 20 minutes without stating why, you have every right to approach them & ask them why.
If they get snippy & refuse to give a reason ( & tell you to go back to your car) you have the right to to instruct them to take your details & tell them you'll be on your way if there's nothing else (ie: if you're not under arrest).

They either offer up a reasonable suspicion or you can go, there's no inbetween!

I love when they ask where I'm going...I say "to see your wife", when they get snippy & tell you that's inappropriate, tell them their question was too. They'll send you on your way real quick!!!

Kids, this is a prime example of showing the incorrect attitude towards the police and ignoring official direction.

I hope your car gets a through going over each time you're pulled over, don't need smart ***** like you on the road.
