What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Kentucky
Driving alone one night I noticed someone was following me close so I turned into a gas station. It was a police officer in the car following me who pulled up when I got out of my car and said that I did not signal before turning into the station. I was distracted by him tailing me.
He asked for my license and registration and then asked me if I had marijuana on me, and said that if I admit it that he would not arrest me. I was confused by that and told him I was confused. He said he didn't care for liars and he could smell marijuana and if I was honest with him he wouldn't arrest me.
I said I had nothing.
Another officer had pulled up in another car and came over to us right then. The new officer proceeded to search my car and found only 2 pipes and paper and a paper roller.There was no marijuana.
He proceeded to arrest me for three charges:
1)failure to signal turn,
2)marijuana possession (even though he does not site any marijuana found in the citation)
3)drug paraphernalia possession.
The only officer on the citation is not the officer who followed me into the gas station and propositioned me to tell him I was in possession of marijuana so he would not arrest me and the officer on the citation made no mention in his report of what actually happened and how, except to say I was stopped by unit XXX (I don't know if XXX is his unit or the other officer's but it is not exactly true, I pulled into the gas station without any provocation from the officer not even knowing it was a police car following me as it was late at night and I was already stopped and out of my car talking to the first officer when the officer on the citation pulled up) There were no witnesses I am aware of but I am looking into that as there were customers around.
I was taken to jail without ever being read my rights in any way shape or form and once there at the jail they called me by another first name and I had to correct them. When I was discharged on my own recognizance 12 hours later they neglected to give me a copy of the citation - I had to go back in to get it and that is when I noticed the wrong first name typed in on the citation and crossed out with my correct name and middle initial hand written next to the wrong first name (with no middle initial). The citation originally had a totally different first name for me (except for the first letter) and no middle initial which leads me to believe it wasn't a typo. The citation also had my hair as brown and it is blond.
I would like to know if there is any basis in all this on which this case can be thrown out and/or was the officer acting properly giving me a proposition to admit to something in return for avoiding arrest.
