Good luck with whatever you decide. My experience with police has been beyond horrible; yours is clearly different. I have no wish for you to ever have my experiences and while there is no guarantee that following up on this and doing the 'right thing' will result in you becoming a victim of the cop but it could; please be careful.
For me, it's a gamble. That might be cause I play poker for a living but everything comes down to odds. If I have one chance in twenty of winning this pot if I call a $5 bet, then there needs to be $95 in the pot to make this a break even proposition. If there is any more in the pot then I should absolutely call the bet; if there is less than $95 in the pot then I should absolutely not call the bet. Likewise, if there is only one chance in twenty of the cop acting inappropriate then you have to decide if he can cause you over "$95" worth of trouble if he decides to go that route. What is it worth to you to if he pulls your youngest over, invents a probable cause and "finds" a little baggie of marijuana in his car? Your husband is held and his insulin is withheld until they dot every 'i' and cross every 't' as far as checking with the pharmacy, then the doctor, then sending it to the lab to verify that it really is insulin before they return it, etc.
Just be careful okay.
P.S. Please check out the thread in current events re: the 57-year old teacher who called the police for help.
