Being compelled to "sit" for 25 minutes with someone you would not be dealing with in the absence of intimidation or explicit coercion is Orwellian. It's also Orwellian to be subject to fishing expeditions, by way of the NCIC check, when there was no basis for "detention" under Wiscosin AND Federal rulings.
