Jesus. What an absolute nightmare. I'm sorry you went through that. My mom was saying the creator behind MADD ended up quitting the organization she started because she said it was becoming more of a racket than an organization with helpful intent. Your story fits that.

My girlfriend at the time came by my place that evening and was very confused that the lights were on but I wasn't opening the door. When I called her the next day to pick me up from jail, she was pretty irate about the whole situation.

It wasn't the end of the relationship by any stretch, but it was an added stressor.
