What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Wisconsin
I recently got charged for what I believe is 2 counts of drug paraphernalia. Both me and my girlfriend.
I was in my house when the cops knocked on my door and after asking to search, I said no, however my girlfriend was in the shower.
I asked to get her and they said no, so I said one of them could escort me inside to get her, not to search, but to escort.
All 3 officers came in, not just one. They saw a pipe which was on my couch sort of in the open. They all 3 immediately came to arrest me, never read me any right, I had no idea what was going on. They just said I was under arrest.
So they all three were jumping on me trying to arrest me, but I have a bad left arm from lifting, as I enjoy the sport of bodybuilding as a hobby of mine. My left arm wouldnt go back, and they freaked out saying I was resisting and threatened to taze me right away (Mind you, I am 6 foot 5 with a larger build), They were telling me I never said any of that, and they have everything on recording and such.
I got taken to the station, and while I was in the cell, I was given my rights. For some reason it seems odd for me that they are able to do all of this.
They also states in the papers they sent me a few wrong details. Saying I let 2 people into my house, saying that I quoted "I smoke marijuana from time to time" as they were speaking to me in the beginning when I opened the door from them, which I did not.
They also had told me they were unsure who was smoking as someone had called and said it was in my building. They had a dog sniffing at my door so they got me. In the papers however they said they got a call to come to my apartment unit.
Some things dont really add up to me. I could be wrong. I am not one to claim to be a legal expert, which is why I am here.
It says I must show up in circuit court in july. Should I get an attorney? I cannot afford one so Id need to seek a free one.
I appreciate any and all help here!
