What is the name of your state? British Columbia
My car was searched under the suspicion of trafficking. I had two broken off Mentos mints wrapped in tin foil in the center console. The cops said I was trying to sell that as crack cocaine. They arrested me and put me in a holding cell, took my photograph. They interrogated me then let me loose, giving me a week to come back and "rat" drug dealers out or else they would charge me. They didn't give me any papers or anything when they let me out. Can they charge me for having two breath mints wrapped in tin foil that they say I had wrapped for sale. They didn't see me try to sell it or offer it to anyone. It was just in my center console. I break my Mentos in pieces then wrap it in tin foil for conservation so I have more mints to eat since Mentos are such big candies. They also found two pieces of paper with a phone number written on it. They say I was handing it out as a call number so that drug addicts could call me. It wasn't my number nor did the paper have my name on it. They kept my cell phone which is of a different number than the number on the piece of paper. What can I do? What should I do? Please help. I don't want to have a felony charge for having breath mints in my car.
