What is the name of your state? Oklahoma
A few weeks ago we had a party in our apartment. The music was too loud, and the cops eventually showed up. As most of the people there were minors, including me, they all hid in the back bedroom. Here's what happened as I can best remember it. There were two cops outside my door. They asked for my ID, which was in my bedroom, and I left their sight to go get it. As I was leaving I tried to shut the door out of habit and the cops yelled at me not to do that again and out there foot inside my apartment to prop the door open. I apologized as it honestly was a force of habit. I got my ID and came back. The cops then began chatting it up. There was an empty case of beer in their sight, and I repeatedly told them it was empty. They then ordered me to go get the case and bring it to them. I turned around and started heading for the case. At this point, the cops said I was leaving their sight and therefore were aloud to come in. My roommates friend had left a bottle of gin on the table. I told them it wasn't mine, that it was my roommate's friend that was 21. They said they didn't care and told me to pour it out. The whole time they're standing just inside the doorway.
My question is did they enter my apartment illegally? I had already left their sight once, and wasn't posing any kind of threat. They also were about 10 feet away from the liquor they're charging me with possessing, and never verified the contents. Now we had alot of empty bottles laying around because we were going to fill them with water and drop hiliters in them and put them in front of a black light. Is there any way out of the MIP? I get in trouble with my school too, so I would really not like to be charged with possesion alcohol that really wasn't mine. Thanks in advance.
