I'm not saying this applies to you, because I can get the same way with lots of caffeine, but I think it's pretty safe to say that the very nature of police interactions gets more timid people to start shaking in fear, despite being law abiding. The very idea that it constitutes PC is absurd and baseless. I would say he'd probably be committing perjury if he told a judge that the majority of people that he's stopped that were shaking were legitimately criminals.
Please, please, please take them to task. They've earned it.
The bottom line is that if you want them to get investigated, you have to file a report. Having made this happen more than once, I can assure you it's a worthwhile and rewarding thing to do. Even if it gets swept under the rug, it will make the officers more careful in the future, and arguably restore some of the dignity they took from all of us. Totally worth doing, regardless of the outcome.
