I hope you reported this to the county attorney's office in Amarillo. Sounds like you weren't treated lawfully, from what you wrote about the stop and search done by LE there.
No, actually it was rather interesting and the LE guys (there were two) were very entertaining and polite. It was a rather unique way to spend about 20 minutes on the side of the Interstate. Afterwards, we had fun discussing what they asked us when we were separated--she in the RV and me in the police car--and decided that they were bored and just needed to liven up their shift a bit. They even gave us some tips on what we would see when they learned of our plans for the area.
The unresolved matter for us was, what were people thinking as they drove by and saw an RV pulled over?
