Don't say that they're in fear for their life because I also am in fear for my life and that I must comply to unreasonable detention while they call for extra backup. They run my plate and see nothing on their screen and I still need to exit the vehicle in the manner I described and be searched!
Is this a police state we now live in?
As a citizen do I still have any rights?

Just a guess that you were never a law enforcement officer or had anyone in your family in law enforcement or you would never make such a post. Numerous reasons could have initiated the stop, and if one were aware they ran the plate and saw nothing, the only way one could know that was that they spoke to them prior to that check, so possibly an aggravated attitude made them justifiably weary, and for their own safety they proceeded with extreme caution.
