What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida
Ok.. I don't know if this is in the right place and if it is not, I am sorry. But I need help. I posted something else on another forum about being pulled over and arrested and searched illegally. But now I have a question about children. Here is the story. I had gotten pulled over SaturdaySunday night about 1am with my boyfriend/ father to my child. The officer said he smelt marijuana as soon as he came to window, kit in hand(Funny). (I knew what was going wrong with the whole thing already). Anyway while searching my vehicle, he didn't find anything, but some baby toys and a bottle. He asked why I had them. I replied I have a 4 month old daughter. He asked where she was. I said my boyfriend's boss' house for the night. He asked why. I said because we fuminigated our house (we just moved in) and I didn't want her to be exposed to the fumes.. (it's poison). He then started asking my daughter's birthday, SS#, and where my babysitter lived. I gave him the phone number, not knowing thinking anything. He then called them at2am and sent a police officer over there to do a welfare check. Mind you, there was really NO marijuana, the color tested negative, I did the research and spoke with my brother and a few other family members who are cops. So my question is why, even if there was marijuana present (which there was not) why would they send to do a welfare check on my child when I did not even have her in my possession? And is this legal? I was just very curious about this. They also asked my babysitters husband for all his information, DL#, DOB and SSN. (More than what they asked my boyfriend for and it was his car.. Very funny again!) I don''t think this is proper procedure, but I could very well be wrong. Any links to cases like this or refernces would be great also. Thank you in advance
