What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
Hawaii
I apologize if this post doesn't conform to the forum's rules, this is my first post and I joined specifically to ask this question. I'm going to use "allegedly" just to be safe, not sure if it is really necessary.
I parked my moped (scooter) illegally on the sidewalk, walked over to some people and allegedly asked them if they had any heroin for sale. One of them (Person A) said yes they did, and I allegedly gave her some money and she told me to wait. She got in a car that was parked nearby and I stood outside waiting for about 5 min. Person A then told me to follow her friend (Person B), who got out of the car they were both in and skateboarded across the street about 50 feet away. Person A drove away and left the area. Person B talked to another lady (Person C), I'm assuming to give the money I allegedly gave to Person A to Person C for the heroin. While this was happening I briefly spoke to a Person D, who asked what I was trying to buy. I told him (Person D) that I was already being taken care of. Then Person B allegedly gave me a small baggie of heroin that I assume was bought from Person C. I walked back over to my moped and started to drive away, with the alleged heroin in my pocket. When I turned a corner an unmarked police car with two officers (I forget if they were in uniform) inside pulled up next to me and instructed me to pull over on the next street. One of the officers told me that I had parked my moped illegally, but that wasn't the reason he wanted to talk to me. The other officer ran my driver's license and checked to see if the moped was registered to me (which it is) and wasn't stolen (which obviously it isn't). The first officer asked me some questions like what I was doing there and why I had been handing money and receiving small packages with those people. I played dumb and just said I didn't know. The first officer talked to me about how I was in a dangerous area and the people he had seen me talking to were known to be drug dealers and that they were connected in some way to a fatal shooting that had occurred a few weeks prior. He also said that he hadn't seen me before and that I was "useless" to him because he was after "bigger fish", I'm guessing he meant dealers and their regular customers. He said that they had me on video making a hand-to-hand transaction with the man I referred to as Person D earlier. If you recall, even in my "alleged" scenario I definitely did not make a deal of any kind with Person D. The officer said they would review the tape and if they saw a hand-to-hand transaction take place a police officer would "pick me up". He asked what I was doing in the area, and I truthfully responded that I worked nearby and I was on my way to a college class at the local University. He kept saying stuff like that I seemed like a normal guy and that I needed to make better life choices (no arguments from me there!), and then they gave me back my license and I drove away to class.
Am I in trouble? They didn't search me, didn't write me a ticket or anything. I'm scared that they will look at some video (not sure if the video actually exists) in the coming days and some police officer will show up at my house and arrest me. What should I do, what should I expect? Sorry for about the long post and thank you so much for reading it all.
