NY
I stopped by a friends house the other day, knocked on the door as was met by police who informed me they were conducting a "drug raid",I took a step back and an officer took me by the elbow lead me into the house took my pocketbook and cuffed me. He then sat me in the livingroom with the other people also cuffed and took my pocket book into the kitchen with 3 other officers, while another told me I was under arrest and will be charged with everything they find in the apt. Then the cop came out of the kitchen and told me I was under arrest for criminal possession of controlled substance, said "they found a crack pipe in my pocketbook"... This is not true, I had nothing on me, no drugs, no crack pipe, they proceded to take "us" to the Detective office where we were all seperated and interigated,
I was told I wasnt cooperaring because I had no names of drug dealers to give them, so They proceeded to charge me, I went to central booking where I was finger printed and mug shot and released with an apprearance ticket to answer the charges, Is this legal, can they do this to me? HAve my rights been violated, oh and they never read me my rights either, I was let go with a apprearance ticket and have to face the judge next week on the charges, the officer said he would talk to to the DA on my behalf. Also my prior conviction is NOT drug related.
SOMEONE PLEASE ADVISE, this doesnt sound legal to me.
Thank you
