What is the name of your state? Illinois
I was recently stopped for making a turn without using my turn signal; I believe I did use my turn signal. The policeman asked to search my car. I said OK, without realizing that my girlfriend left her purse in my car. When he searched the purse, he found a straw that he said was drug paraphernalia, and I was arrested for drug possession and my bail was set at $1,000. How could I be charged with drug possession because it was a straw? And, secondly, should I have even been charged since this straw was in my friend’s purse?
