A cop looked at a bottle without permission. I'm not going to rank that up their with Darfur, if that's what you mean.
It was poorly done and beyond the pale. It was not a moral outrage nor a travesty. Had he beat you down to get the bottle away from you I would respond more vehemently. As it was - there are worse things that I see fairly often that warrant more of a response from me than that. Sorry.
