A friend and I had a big night out planned. But before we went out she wanted to stop by a friend's house in Detroit, MI. I waited in the car while she went in. Neither of us had any intention of purchaseing drugs, she just merely wanted to visit a friend real quick, and i was with her and stayed in the car. Seconds after we left the house we were pulled over. The cops (all 5 of them) asked us what we were doing. We told them the truth, visiting a friend! That was'nt the answer they wanted! They then seperated us and after ten minutes of threats and interrogation I told them "we came to buy pot." The cops threatened to arrest us and impound her car if we did'nt confess to it. So we were given a ticket for "loitering in a known Narcotics area." This can't be fair! First of all, 75% of Detroit is a known narcotics area. So does this mean we are not allowed anywhere in Detroit unless we live there?! And secondly they had no hard evidence that we had purchased drugs. They did'nt find any paraphanalia on us, and could'nt prove anything. However I did confess to buying pot. But only after I was threatened and very scared! Now even if my friend actually did intend to buy pot, I was just an innocent bi-stander waiting in the car! Does anyone have any advice on how I can fight this? We are both innocent, with completely clean records! How can we prove we were scared into confession?
