Friday the 27th me and my friend were pulled over on a traffic violation late at night. my friend, driving my car, was given a field sobriety test and passed. a second officer came and had me step out of the vehicle and searched me and found a pipe. we then both handcuffed immediatly and put into a squad car. they searched my cars locked glovebox (without asking my permission, i assume they didnt need to once they had found a pipe on my person) and found another pipe and 1/16oz of marijuana. i was given a breathalizer and blew .109. my friend blew a .05. inside the police station they found another 1/16oz in my wallet. so we were both printed and mugshots were taken.
being arrested before for posession, i was given a police report or something that i had to sign saying how much marijuana there was and everything, and say what i was doing when busted. this time neither me or my friend were made to sign anything. we were never questioned. i guess we werent really under arrest? im confused because the police never asked about whose paraphinalia was in the car and whose bag it was. they just gave a posession ticket to my friend even though it was in my car.
im confused because the police never told us what was going on. they never said we were under arrest. we were never read our rights. usually they do. i guess they didnt need to because they never questioned us. but if you are in a situation where you are fingerprinted and mugshots are taken i thought you are definitly being arrested. we both were issued municipal citations for underage consumption and posession of controlled substance. was i not under arrest? because they didnt give us a criminal charge? im not very clear on what is going on. they never said anything to us, just let us go in a taxi after the mugshots/prints.
i'm just hoping that were supposed to read us our rights. but i guess they were just detaining us and they followed procedure. please give me any advice or comment on this situation! thanks
