Embarrassing punishment, if you can even call it that. And while in this particular story the officer was lying very dramatically, you'd be a fool to think most officers don't lie a little to make themselves look better, or give credence to their arrests and claims. Not only that, few have a good grasp of exactly what is allowed and isn't, and how the law functions in society. We have examples of this even on this board.
Know your rights people, because the other side rarely plays fair.
