What is the name of your state? CA
I'm 19 years old and I was just suspected of my first DUI offense.
So I was turning left out of a parking lot because I just ate some fast food. Less than 5 seconds after I'm out of the lot, I get pulled over. Officer thought he saw me in the left lane but I told him that perhaps he just caught a quick glance of me come out of the parking lot.
Next thing I know, I'm doing FSTs (which I felt confident in) and then he checked my pulse. I was a little shaky due to the fact that I had just woke up about ten minutes prior to that, I was just pulled over, and it was around 42 degrees outside. He thought my pulse was high so he checked my eyes but never indicated that he found anything. He had me do another FST right after this.
He asks if he can search my car; I said I had not given any suspicion for a search. Next thing I know, I'm cuffed sitting in the back of the police car and he tells me he's gonna search my car based on not trusting me. He found a bong and half of a 6 pack in my trunk but I had not been drinking that night. I was at a place earlier that evening around people smoking both tobacco and mj but I was not. Then I'm taken to a jail for a blood test and that was it. I never was offered a breathalyzer test.
Also, I didnt have my license confiscated upon my release which I heard is standard procedure. I now have an arraignment May 3rd and I do have a lawyer. What do you guys think will end up happening?
ALSO: My only charges were 23152 A) DUI Drugs/Alcohol and 11550 a) Under the Influence of Controlled Substance.
The beer and bong that was in my trunk remained there when I retrieved my vehicle...
