What is the name of your state? IL
My BIL was involved in an accident where he was broadsided by a truck and subsequently his SUV rolled over and slid into oncoming traffic. Injured adn taken to hopsital via ambulance. He had a crack pipe on him which he tried to conceal in the mattress of the cart he was on. Found by paramedic and given to police who brought to him. He initially acted innocent, then when pressured admited it was his, and was told they would not charge him until the following Monday, vs arrest after discharge from hospital. COp told him he found it in his pants pocket which was incorrect, he was still laying on his pants which had been cut in order to see his injuries. He had also been medicated with a narcotic for pain.
He went on Tuesday to the village police dept, was formallly charged and posted $75 bail, abd has received a court notice to appear before the village , with a village ordinace posted as being violated. The cop made this sound as tho it is not as bad as going to the county courthouse and being charged with a state violation. What is the difference?
