First just wanted to say great site and I am a 20 year old male
Last night I was walking back to my girlfriends house from the store in Berkeley California eating a traditional fruit on the bottom yogurt. I placed it into a garbage can about 30 feet in front of her house. Before I could take another step two officers on bicycles approached me asking what i had just put in the garbage because they had seen a "blue and white container in my hand" when I told them that it was simply a yogurt one of the cops produced an empty beer can from the same trash (the thing was half full of beer cans being that berkeley is college town) I then asked the officer to breathalyze me because I had not been drinking so I could prove to him my innocence but he refused!!! He asked me for all my for all my information i.e. name address and I respectfully gave it to him. Then my name did not register in their database for some reason and he accused me of giving a false name and calling me a liar and I even tried to give him my social security number!!! Then I guess it finally came up about a half hour later. By this time my lady had come outside to see what had happened to me, when she saw that I was being harassed by the officers she immediately snapped a photo of me and the yogurt that I just ate with the cops still in the picture. The cops then told her that she could not take pictures and that she was interfeiring and that they were gonna arrest her too. Anyways, I don't even know if the picture will do me any good in court but I appreciate any advice you can give me regarding MIP charges.
Thank you for your time
