I am from Michigan. I was at a phish (musical group) show in ohio near columbus. There were a lot of under cover police there and I was holding a partially full bud light, and had a full bud light in my pocket. they did not see me drink from the can but they saw me possesing alcohol and asked my age. I told them I was 18 (truth) and they handcuffed me and took me to their headquarters(post) in the parking lot at the show. They did not ask if I had been consuming alc., give me a sobriety test or a breathalizer. I tried talking to them cause I have never been in trouble before, and they told me not to talk unless spoken to otherwise they could be real pricks and assholes to me, so I shut up. They then proceeded to search my clothing. I had a smoking pipe that I had just purchased and had not been used for anything, it was clean with no hint of being used. One of the officers said "you lucked out, you haven't used it yet" and held on to it for several minutes. I then asked him if I could have it back sayng I was of legal age to smoke tobacco and thats what I was going to use it for. He then replied saying "you want to start lieing we can start being pricks" then he said " I can give this back to you, but then we will take you to jail because in ohio it violates some law(i don't remember the law name). So I said O.k. and he kept it.
Then another cop came and started writing out my ticket. After he was done he uncuffed me. My ticket charged me with consumption and possession of alcohol(being a minor). I was not drunk and I asked him to talk to someone in charge of the operation. I then talked to the guy in charge and he took down my name and said he couldn't do anythig about the ticket but he would talk to the prosecuter and have him se what he could do.
then I went and watched the show. They said I have to trvle back to ohio to take care of the matter.
Any comments? Advice?
No where on the ticket was there any mention of my pipe or a charge for it. It was legal, no resin of drugs, really what happened is they stole a personal belonging that was perfactly legal( in MI anyways)
