Hello,
Hopefully someone could help me with my little dilemma here
So here is the story, my cousins and I were in the front yard in our house around 11:30 or so they were drinking and I wasn't. We were there listening to music and just relaxing after a long week of work not hurting anyone or anything but I'm guessing a neighbor called in and said we had loud music or something. Cops came and asked if we were drinking, we said no and said that we would go to the backyard if it bothered someone but no, they saw the empty beer bottles and assumed everyone was drunk and started huffing and puffing. So me, the sober one started being rude and saying that we were just relaxing and out of no where they barge inside ( no gate in the frontyard) and handcuff me. They said that I was being detained and put in the squad car. Of course I was pissed off..did not co-operate and just mouthed off mad. Then I said I would like to leave if I was not arrested and they said nope you're under arrest now. They did not read me my rights or anything until we got to the station.They also wrote down that I was under the influence of alcohol which I was not. They did not take any tests or breathalizer I was shocked at how much power the LAW has and how my freedom of speech was taken away so quickly. They had a Higher Ranked officer come in my holding cell and tell me I was arrested for (Penal Code 148 P.C.). They took me to jail and held me there for about a day and release me on O.R.
I do not know what to do, this is the first thing on my record. Are they allowed to just barge into my cousins house and arrest me like that? Were they supposed to read me my rights before taking me in?
