A blunt roach was clearly visable down in my console, when the cop shined his light in my window. How I could be so stupid, I dunno. Flame if you want.
But he seen it, and immediately told my friend to "GET OUT OF THE PASSENGER SEAT" because he was "GOING TO SEARCH THIS CAR". All the while, he pulled him out, somewhat aggressively and turned him around and began patting him down. My friend was still struggling to get his seatbelt off when the cop began man-handling him.
He found nothing on my friend, but took him back to the police car and made him sit in the back. Then he came and got me out of the car and kept gripping his rather large hands around my small arm, guiding me around to the back of the car. After drilling me about what kind of drugs were in the car, he TOLD me he was going to search my car and that I needed to stand in front of his with my back turned, and wait. The way he kept jerking my arm was almost violating, imo. I had on heels so I was stumbling a bit, and then he snarled at me "so you've been drinking huh" NOOOO fucker, I just lost my balance b/c you kept pushing me around!
anyway, after he TORE my car apart, bookbags, emptied my purse upside down, took everything out of the glove compartment and left it in the floor. dug around in my trunk for about 15 minutes. found nothing except for what he considered "enough residue" to charge me for misdemeanor possession.
I also got no proof of insurance and speeding (10 over).
However, I have a pretty good attorney that's helped me in the past (help me get 3 felonies dropped to misdemeanors, and then eventually had it thrown outta court all together) and i'd rather pay him a hefty fee than plead guilty to a weed charge. I'm a criminal justice major, and people talk around here in the south. I feel this will prevent me from getting employment around here, when I graduate.
So again my question, if they have probable cause to search, do they still have to ask?
on the ticket is a little red box that is titled "vehicle search"
some box with a.p.p ? a box with PC (probable cause) and a box that says consent.
he checked neither box.. left it blank.
can I beat this?
thanks

but I fucked up and now I gotta pay for it. But maybe I should clarify that I wasn't arrested ? dunno if that makes a difference or not. I just got a ticket.
