Got detained and Searched for asking a US Customs agent for directions

So I just recently moved to Cleveland, and wanted to check out the surrounding area. As I was looking on my maps I realized that Detroit was on the border with Canada, something I hadn’t known. Then yesterday I decided I’d drive up there and see how it compared to Cleveland. Only problem is I accidentally left my Pin on the border because I had been looking at it. So after my 3 hour drive I get there and my GPS immediately has me take an exit. Then I pass a sign that says “To Canada Border”, I freak out and look for the next exit.

But there wasn’t any.

So I get to what is essentially a Fancy Trucker stop but with no exits. I drive around for a bit, and eventually spot what looks like a cop. So I drive up to him and ask him how I can get back to the highway.

He doesn’t answer and with 3 of his buddies walk, up to my car. He asks “Who’s car is that” I say my dad’s. He says “Put it in park” So I do. Then I hear “Sir step out of the vehicle”

So ya they made me sit on my hood as they rifled through all the stuff in my car.

Because I Luckily don’t tend to engage in illegal behavior they didn’t find anything, so I got my car back and was shown the exit.

I was wondering if this is normal, or if I just met a Jerk US customs agent?

Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
