Get Hassled By The Police

Who doesn't love cops?
As I was entering the pitch blackness (damn you daylight savings!) after leaving work today, I got in my car to get ready to leave. No exaggeration, I'm in there no longer than 10 seconds when two cop cars pull up behind my parked car (on a private parking lot mind you) and start shining their goddamn lights on me.
I was incredibly confused as one approached my car, maybe they saw the dead guy's arm hanging from my trunk?
"Where are you going?"
I told him I was going home, and I asked him (rather pissed off) what the problem was. Apparently, he wanted to know why I was just sitting in my car for "so long" (he informed me that there has been a lot of car robberies in the lot, which is complete bullshit). I told him that I worked there, and I seriously just stepped into my car. He didn't believe me (was it my mustard plug sticker? the fact I haven't shaved in 2 weeks, or the fact I was wearing a hoodie as opposed to a suit and tie?) as he took my information and ran a check on me.
Then it was like a game of 20 fucking questions. "Make a lot of money?" "Does your company work with porn? That would be a sweet job." (I'm not fucking kidding either).
Thank you cop, for wasting a good 10 minutes of my life.
Now my question is, was this an unlawful stop and am I justified to file a complaint? It's really just a principle of the matter at this point. If you have any idea, let me know.

All they need is reasonable suspicion. It's basically the lowest standard ever and doesn't come anywhere near the probable cause they need for an arrest. They didn't frisk you did they?

Fight the power. *fist raised*
I wouldn't bother, suspicion of a crime and all that and regarding the questions, well its your word against theirs

Thanks for the heads up guys. I'm thinking of shooting an email to the ACLU just for my own curiosity.
A.J - Yeah, you're completely right, I know it wouldn't amount to anything. But I still feel compelled to find out if it was illegal or not. If it is indeed illegal, I may make a fuss about it, because I'm pretty much sick of seeing our constitutional rights being stomped and pissed on in the past few years.
