In April I was charged with a Possession of Marijuana under 2 oz. and Paraphernalia. Now initially when the cop first pulled me over, for not having a front license plate, he asked me to step out of the car. After that he asked me if I had any drugs, large amounts of cash, or guns in the car, I responded with no. He then asked if he could search the car, I told him no. He then pushed me aside and told me he was searching the car. I said loudly "I said No!" I then repeated that one more time as he walked to my car and opened my car door, pulled my passenger out of my car then began the search. In the end we both got arrested with the same possession and paraphernalia charges. Now long story short four months later it's a week from the court date and I asked my attorney repeatedly to get the tape of the arrest and finally I got a call from my attorney this morning. They said that the city either won't release the tape, or they lost it; so my Possession charges are now dismissed. I'm assuming my paraphernalia will soon follow. Now I had spend money on bail, getting my car out of the impound lot since they towed it, and also money on the attorney. I'm guessing the city realized the search probably was illegal. Is there any way to get them to have to pay for all of the expenses I had to pay due to them? Thanks for the help!
