Advice?
I placed a call from my residence that was being attacked by girlfriend. I meet officers in hallway and they observe my bleeding mouth. After much discussion I'm asked if I want to press charges and say no. Officer writes report, hands to me, I add the notation "I was attacked". Officer becomes upset. He takes me outside, rewrites report and asks me to sign again. I reply I just simply want notated for the record that I was the one who initiated the police contact and that I'm the one injured.
Officer became upset saying he had enough and cuffed me and placed me in holding cell until noon the next day when I appeared before the Judge that assigned me an order of protection until 7/14/04 and said I also must appear before another judge evening of 8/14/03.
I now am back at my residence and my girlfriend says she did not press any charges and did not ask for any order of protection.
1) How can I legally be placed in a cell overnight without being arrested, read right, fingerprinted etc...?
2) How can an officer/judge independently decide that they shall place an order of protection upon me?
3) How can my refusing to sign a report until it accurately depicts that I requested the police assistance and was the only party physically injured being interpreted by the officer as disorderly conduct?
4) What can I expect from the judge when I apperar 8/14/03?
