So last night I was kickin' it with a few buddies they were all drinking and I took like 2 shots and turned down other alcohol because I was the driver..
So I was taking one of my friends home when we get pulled over (for my muffler)
He takes my license and registration and comes back to the car.
He then comes back and says.. your license is restricted, your not supposed to be driving after 11. (I had totally forgotten that it was restricted) He was like.. it smells like booze in the car is there any alcohol or marijuana in the car? And I said yes officer, heres all the weed in my car and my medical marijuana card. And he was like alright ill run this through and come back. (I handed him the green receipt you get back when you send the $100's to the state, with the date the check was cashed at.) And he comes back saying thats the the proper paperwork thats needed, he immediately puts me under arrest after i told him im not giving him consent to search my car. They begin searching my car for more weed and find nothing but seeds. My buddy takes a PBT and blows numbers and gets an MIP, I deny a PBT (I would have gotten a DUI or OWI) instead i just got a denying a PBT which is 100 dollar fine. They impound my car, take my weed, card and parifanilia.
I got tickets for the following
Excessive noise (muffler) waivable
Taillight out waivable
Restricted license violation
denying PBT citation
drug parifanilia
posession charge

I am very thankful i didnt get a DUI or OWI.. but still very pissed off about the situation..:wall:

..anybody know about law here that can help me out??
 
Wow, that cop sounds like a dick! You should have got a warning for the muffler & taillight. I've learned to be honest with cops, which almost always gets me out of tickets. The smell of alcohol gave him probably cause to search your car. I would however still speak with my local legal aid or a lawyer. Good luck.

Peace out

sounds like a michigan cop to me. from the sound of it i feel like your also a michigan patient. its bullshit what they do to people without plastic, they claim they can't verify you if you only have your papers, and they must take your things until they can verify. I would get in contact with a medical marijuana lawyer immediately and go to court and get all your shit back and make the cops look like dipshits. My friend had a similar experience, cops came to a party and took his jar of weed when he produced his papers, he got it all back and they did a news report on the story and shit and made kent county sheriffs look fucking stupid. my favorite line from the story - "why is it that our cops are not educated?"
