There doesn't seem to be a website for the Haddon Township PD, so I went to
the NJSP website and found this link to filing complaints:

http://www.state.nj.us/lps/njsp/comp/complain.html

Among other guidelines, it says: "The Office of Professional Standards will
thoroughly investigate all reports of misconduct by troopers regardless of
the source. Anyone who files a complaint against a trooper will be treated
with courtesy and respect."

If you were treated rudely, you have legal recourse.
