I was recently given a village ordinance ticket for underage drinking. I was asleep in a closed off room when the police woke up me up by pulling on my arm and giving me a hit in the face. The officer than went through my purse and wallet. I was said that I wanted to call my mom and the officer said after I received a drinking ticket. I said that I didn't want to take a breathalyzer and they put me in handcuffs. I was so scared that I said I would cooperate. I took the breathalyzer after being yelled and sworn at. I want to know what I can do about being assaulted and illegally searched. I was also wondering what the consequences are for my first offense village ordinance ticket. I live in Illinois if that makes a difference.
