What is the name of your state? Pennsylvania
I was arrested a few weeks ago after a gas station attendant *thought* she saw me put something in my bag. She asked to search it, I refused and left. She called the police and being in a small town they recognized the description of the friend's car I was in (covered in stickers for punk bands) and came to his house. I refused to be cuffed until the officer told me what i was under arrest for, he slammed me to the ground, threatened me with pepper spray, and finally telling me what was going on, cuffed me. at no time did i strike him, or threaten to.
he searched me (without consent) and found my switchblade. i had not been aware they were illegal in PA. he took me to the station and repeatedly tried to get permission to search my bag, and to get me to confess. i refused both.
he took down the address on my state ID card which is my former residence where no one who lives there presently knows me. he seized my bag awaiting a search warrant. i told him he did not have permission to keep it but it wasn't returned to me.
my question is, given the circumstances will charges even be filed? if so, how hard do they look for a guy in a case like this?
