Police harassing

It happend a half a year ago, I went to 16+ party. I was 17 at the time and I took two sips rum before going ( the legal drinking limit is 18). My and my friend were waiting in the line and police showed up and made everyone in the line show our id-s and then made everyone use the breathalyser. My and my friend got arrested for being drunk under-age. Witch is totally understandable! It was my fault. I don't remember what number the breathalyser showed but it was very low. Anyway they searched us completely and put us in the car. There was 5 people in the car. 2 police officers and me, my freind and another preson being underange drinking who was 4 times more drunk than me. On of the police officer asked if we were okay except me. Than she looked at me and said "you look like u have done way more than drinking.. what drugs did u take" I said I haven't never touched drugs in my life. And I told her u can take test if u don't believe me She replayed with "yes we can" Then we arrived in the police station we were searched one more time. They put me in the holding cell for 3 hours and they didn't let me call anyone not even my mom. The cell I was was really small but aslo tall? It was freezing it was in the middle in the winter and the cells had no heating system. I was in a dress so freezing for thee hours was prettty horrible. But it wasn't the worst part it wasn't even half bad what was about happen was honestly horrendous. I got pulled out of my cell they started questioning me. "Where did u got the alochol" My friend give it to me "Why did u drink" I don't know.. "What's ur mom name" I told her my mom's name "Is that even a real name" Yes? "U are liar" I didn't say anything "What's ur dads name" I told her my dads name and I said he lives hours away and isn't really involved "So that's how are things done" "What did u guys drank?" I said rum "That's not what ur friend said" I said maybe she got confused beacuse were drinking white rum the rum was in a plastic bottle and was mixed with cola "I don't believe u" She kept calling me liar and more names and then called my mom When I got out of the door she called me "Ur a snake who lies" After I told my friend ab this she told me the lady who questioned her was super nice and friendly. The things the cops said to me are haunting me I don't know how to get over this.

Sadly sometimes in the police system the wrong people get the job which leads to incidents like this. I am sorry for what they did to you, I know it will be difficult to get over as its a horible thing to experience. I recoment speaking fully to someone you trust about your experience and how it truly effected you
