so last night i got busted by opd. i was near a park on the street (legally parked and all, not on private property or state park property) when a cop car came in. at the time i wasnt involved in smoking any weed. in fact i was eating some burger king and talking about philosophy with my friend. anyways, the cops pull over and say its smells like marijuana and ask me if i been smoking. i stupidly said yes (but didnt specify when or where, i wasnt even high at the time).
so the cop tells me to get out of the car and i do, but i close the door. first thing she does is handcuff me, i immediately say why are you handcuffing me, even if i did smoke it can only be a misdemeanor. she says its for her protection (i couldnt hurt her she was prob a foot taller than me...) and then searches me ( i knew she would probably arrest me if i didnt say that.. and take me to jail) . she finds nothing. they take out my friend too. at no time did i admit i have weed on me. she puts me back in the patrol car and searches my car without consent. keep in mind that my door was closed and i never told her that she could search. she goes up and look up my record, everything is clean, asks me a ton of stupid questions to see if i was functioning correctly and answered right and in a professional manner.
she finds maybe a gram of weed inside a box that was not under plain view. stupidly, i had some beer bottles (empty, and there for a week, inside the back pouch of the back seat) and i got two crimes on my ticket which were possession of mj and possession of open container (i dont even drink
)
now lets see, im not a bad person, i didnt mean to bother anyone (oakland is a bad city, i relax in parks where no one can shoot me or try to mug me) and i go to college with a pretty decent gpa. is there anything i can do to fight this or should i just pay up and most likely lose my license? either way im pretty depressed of this whole ordeal..
thanks for listening...
