Why do Americans like half-baked things so much?

>live in the US for a year
>drive to a gas station and buy a crate of beer
>lady behind the counter asks for ID (Im 25)
>she wouldnt accept either my German ID, drivers license or American student ID even though they all have the same information on them
>I demand to talk the manager and she reluctantly agrees to sell the beer
>feeling very American at this point because I threatened a badly paid employee to comply to my will
>carry the beer to my car
>police officer talks me up "Excuse me, sir, are you aware that you're breaking the law by transporting alcohol in public?"
>"I am sorry, officer, I just bought this. I'm going to put it in my car and leave."
>he takes the American police man stance with his hand on his pistol for no reason
>"If youre planning on putting the beer on the passenger seat, lemme tell you one thing, kiddo: You'd be breaking the law AGAIN."
>tell him that I have no intent to do so and ask if the trunk was allowed
>he says yes and looks at my car
>he notices my girlfriend waiting
>"Excuse me, sir, is that your girlfriend? Is she over 21? It's against the law to give alcohol to minors."
>"I am aware of this, officer. She's 20 years old, and I bought the beer for myself."
>he still demands to see my drivers license, I hand him my German license
>"What is this, where does it say when it expires?"
>ohboyherewego.jpg
>explain to him that German drivers licenses dont expire
>have to hand him my German ID, student ID and registration papers
>another 15 minutes pass as I explain to him that I'm a foreign student and that I am innocent
>he checks my pockets for concealed weapons and proceeds to ransack my car
>why.jpg
>he tells me I was lucky that he didn't find any drugs or weapons or he would have taken me into custody for breaking American laws
>all of that just because I bought some beer
>things like these happen on a daily basis in the US
>this is perfectly normal to Americans

This is the prize for freedom.
