Indiana
A couple were pulled over during a traffic stop after being cut off by an 18 wheeler. The police officer was new and being trained by another who stood while the rookie 'did his thing' as it was said....
The office searched the car after jerking the door open and the young man out of the car for no reason other than him being 'a drug addict who grows pot and smokes crack' just because his eyes were red from being woken up by the noise and the officer at his passenger window.
Now, both were charged with 4 felonies after the officer jerked a pill bottle out of the door and found a pipe and 1 pain pill....both were arrested...car impounded....
The court date, however, was cancelled and there isn't one scheduled. I'm confused....I'm hoping that since it's obvious several violations of civil rights were going on the charges will be dropped but I"m not sure...
What do you think? I"m not a lawyer but it doesn't take one to think if they really were really able to make those charges stick there would be no way they would cancel a court date.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
