This is a good idea, but it has no effect on a security guard who has his circular logic field set to over 9000. Being in a position of power often makes reasonable people act like total jerks.
What still baffles me is why did the OP let all this to happen to him, and not put his foot down?
Being a Federal Correctional Officer I get accused of feeling "powerful" all the time. Among all of the officers I have worked with (several hundred) only 2 or maybe 3 are loving their "position of power" (we call it positional authority) and the other 99% just do as they are told to follow policy and keep their job. I see hundreds of grown men completely naked every week and watch them do very degrading things, I assure you myself and very few others actually enjoy enacting the "visual" searches and extreme number of patsearches and the like that we are required to do
Think of yourself in the OP's position, you are in a foreign country and a language barrier is present. Not only do you have no ability to convey sincerity and honesty through language (much of which comes through inflection and facial expressions which are NOT culturally homogenous) you have no knowledge of the laws and legal process in the country you are in. You aren't guilty of anything, so why not comply and allow the facts to speak for your freedom.
@OP: I like your attitude regarding the situation! Keep it up and you have a great and funny entertaining story that can be told many times in your future
