Sister, Bil, Young Children Pulled Over By Police — Guns Drawn, Told To Exit Vehicle And Walk Backwards, Handcuffed While Kids Sob. Told Vehicle Is Stolen. Plate, Registration, Everything Later Confirmed Correct. Police Said “weird” And Let Them Go. (indi

I wanted to add flair, but I don’t even know what category this falls under.

My sister and her family spent all day playing and enjoying the weather lakeside. No altercations or weird interactions with anyone else. Picturesque day. On the way home, they were pulled over by one squad car — which was joined by two more. Guns were drawn on them, the police told my BIL to place his keys on the roof of the car, and made them both stick their hands out the car windows.

Through the loudspeaker they then forced both parents to exit the vehicle, while the children inside sobbed hysterically. The parents were directed to walk backwards with their hands up or hands on their heads, then they were apprehended and handcuffed. When both parents, shaking, kept asking what was going on and what all this was about, they were finally told matter of factly that the car was stolen.

My BIL was incredulous and asked them what they mean, his license and registration were in the vehicle and all the paperwork and VIN match. The car is his and has been his for quite some time, not a recent purchase or anything to that effect.

Eventually the police ran the information again and talked amongst themselves, and basically said, “Huh, that’s weird, it came up as stolen.” They were then let go without any further explanation or apology, my sister and her children absolutely shaking from the experience.

The only thing we can think is that they mis-ran one of the digits or something. But none of this sounds appropriate or excusable. Is there anything my sister can pursue legally?
