What is the name of your state? Idaho
I was a passenger in a car in which the driver was arressted for DWI. The officer asked for my ID for a routine check. My record is clean except for a missdamenor drug charge 16 years ago in another state. The officer asked to check my purse. Naturally I complied fearing refusal be be deemed defiant. He found parafanalia and less then one gram of weed.I was arrested. My court date is pending.
I was not under the influance at the time , nor uncooppertive in any way.
At the jail I was asked all sorts of routine questions while being booked. I was never at any time read my miranda rights.
After many hours I had to post a $520 bond.
My question.. Does the miranda rights apply in this kind of situation? and as a passenger did the officer have a legal right to search my person?
