I walked into the court house to obtain a copy of my birth certificate and ending up being arrested for drug parapheralia. I had a pipe, that is sold in most tobacco stores and such places. The metal detector was what got it. I was told that I was going to be arrested, his exact words the was escorted into the magistrates office where i was given a bond of 300 dollars and waled back to be searched and placed in jail. I was not read my miranda rights, therefore not being asked if I understood them. I also had someone with me and they were left standing there untill the officer that arrested me came and told her what was going on and that if I had not had an out of state drive license I would have had the pipe confiscated and been let go with out further problems. I guess my question is where do I stand as to what my rights were and if I was in the wrong. Every one automatically assumed I was on crack. when this pipe had never in the 3 years I had it been smoked out of. Also everyone said they it smelled as though it had been recenty smoked out of. What can I do and where do I go from here? Thanks for any help. This is also in north carolina, if that helps any.

I guess you will have to hire a lawyer to show and explain where you bought this pipe, and if its NOT from a HEAD shop but a real tobacco store then you should be ok.

you do not have to be read your rights unless you are being questioned regarding a criminal matter. And then only after you have been advised that you are under arrest.
If they get out the pen and paper then you should be advised of your rights...hope this helps....
