Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

mishandled

I called police for help concerning a parole violator

assaulting my girlfriend. When they apprehended

the pv, they then asked to search the upstairs

where it happened. Not once saying why or that

their mode of action had changed. I was then

brought upstairs and was then handcuffed for a

box containing baggies and a scale, that were

accessible by all tenants. I was then cohersed

into claiming possesion of said box. ''You claim

this box is yours and your girlfriend will stay and

her dog will not be impounded''. I feel completely

railroaded and set up. Also the parole violator was

released. His own mothers pleas of wanting him

arrested and his intoxication , assault and

property damage go unaddressed. Note: the

parolee is my employers son who was paroled 4

weeks prior and came to stay at my residence

which is above my place of employment. What

recourse do i have.

Re: mishandled

Hire a competent attorney to represent you, or ask for a Public Defender. Plead 'not guilty' at that arraignment. You may be divertable under P. C, 1000. If you are when you complete the program the charges will be dropped.

You've got to get smarter. Get rid of the 'M' in your life, and stop taking in tenants whose lives are out of control.
