Then he got more relaxed, and told me, “I just had to be sure because I’m not a regular cop, I’m part of the FBI, and when I scanned your plate I could see you had suspicious travel patterns,” I think is how he worded it.

Country of the free, people. You're now suspicious to the FBI if you use your car - supposedly the symbol of American freedom - to drive around.
