I work at a tobacco shop. And after they said I blown through a stop sign. When asked when drinking I said no. Then he said I smelled, and I quote, "of something suspicious". I get cops get their paycheck for tickets and such but seriously has it really gotten this bad that for a ticket they try to make it something bigger? and ignoring my rights?

As for Miranda rights, there's a comic here https://lawcomic.net/guide/?p=2637 that explains how those work.

In general it doesn't matter if they aren't read to you unless the prosecution wants to use your self-incriminating statements against you in a criminal case. Then those statements might not be usable as evidence, but that's the only consequence.
