I was arrested at a rave for public intoxication. I believe my case stands a very good chance of being dismissed, but there is one question that has been bothering me.
This is how it happened:
I was not feeling well, I had been dancing and I felt like I was going to pass out. As I lost my balance and fell to my knees a police officer came up to me and flashed his light in my eyes. He asked me to follow him. I followed him out of the dance area into a hallway where he began to ask me questions. At first I denied any drug use but after the cop appeared to not believe me I decided I would tell him what he wanted to hear and he would let me go because I cooperated. I was obviously wrong. After telling him that I had eaten ecstacy he took me outside searched me and searched my car (found nothing) and then arrested me.
My question:
Can my confession be used against me in court. I wasn't read my rights until I faced the judge AT my hearing and since then I have said nothing. Also, If the confession cannot be used will it even make a difference. I do not intend to have a trial by jury and in order to keep it out of court I have to ask the judge to supress it, and the judge is the person I want to keep it from!
I was arrested in Bullit County Kentucky
Thanks,
