California
While going through dumpsters located behind numerous office buildings located inside a business park taking usable discarded items ie (dishes,
furniture, carpets) I noticed the private security watching me, and then a local city police office drove up and approched me and my passenger asking what we were doing, he requested I.D. gave it to him he called it in ran plates, then proceded to accuse us of being under the influence of meth.
I told him no, he searched me, my car, my passenger and found nothing.
Needless to say I was offended, and angry, one thing I;m 4'11" and about 200 pounds. However I was arrested and held for about 5-6 hours gave a urine sample and released. My vehicle was not impounded left in the parking lot along with my purse and cell phone on the front seat. My passenger was not arrested and sent away on foot. The officer's threatened to impound my 2005 SUV if I didnot comply, reason why I gave the urine. I was arrested for possibly being under the influence. If they didn't want us removing items from the dumpster ask us to leave. How can that be legal? What rights do I have?
Thanks
