Well it was late at night for one thing. He was probably just doing it to check your record to make sure you didn't have any outstanding violations, etc. (Thats what takes 30 mins) They go back to their cars and run your license. If everything checks out fine they will let you go with some BS warning since they can't pull you over for doing nothing. Its still wrong, but most people just brush it off.
You should have asked the secretary or who ever about that, or talk to a Sheriff, etc. about proper procedure and if they can leagally pull you over for no reason at all. Sounds to me like you were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
