What is the name of your state? Colorado
I was at an afterparty one evening. My friends and I all had taken a pill and we had the music playing. The cops began knocking on the door and we turned the music off. They knocked some more and we opened the door. They isolated me in the bedroom (I was the only female), and began asking me questions. He stared at me and said, "What are you on?" I thought about lying, but I told him that I was on x. He asked me if I had any on me or if the person who sold it to me was there. I told him I didn't have any and I had gotten it at the club. He asked everyone else and they all denied that they had taken anything. He told me," Well, it looks like we are just taking you in." I couldn't believe it!!! They ended up leaving me with a warning.
So my questions are:
1. Can they convict me of a drug offense even if I am not in possesion of any?
2. Why did they isolate me to ask all the questions to?
3. Why wouldn't they get in trouble? It seems that I should have lied as well...
4. Could I have gone to jail for this or only fined with community service?
