Take Waders advise!

But it does not sound like we are hearing ALL of the story yet! I would suggest that you closely read the RCW's that I have listed and see how they may apply to your case. My biggest concern would be the reason for handcuffing you if you did not get belligerent or hostile with the officer. If you did not violate any of these, and what you have said it true, it would appear that the officer may have used excessive force by handcuffing you during a standard traffic citation stop.

One would think that driving 20 miles over the listed speed limit could possibly justify an officer charging you with reckless driving, but that would also be stated on your citation
l
RCW 46.61.465
Exceeding speed limit evidence of reckless driving.
The unlawful operation of a vehicle in excess of the maximum lawful speeds provided in this chapter at the point of operation and under the circumstances described shall be prima facie evidence of the operation of a motor vehicle in a reckless manner by the operator thereof RCW 46.61.465

RCW 46.61.020
Refusal to give information to or cooperate with officer -- Penalty.

*** CHANGE IN 2003 *** (SEE 5758.SL) ***

Any police officer shall on request produce evidence of his authorization as such

(3) Any person requested to identify himself or herself to a law enforcement officer pursuant to an investigation of a traffic infraction has a duty to identify himself or herself, give his or her current address, and sign an acknowledgement of receipt of the notice of infraction.

I hope this has helped you!
