Legal Question in DUI Law in New Jersey
Yesturday night i was pulled over, i was with 2 21 year olds and i am under 18, we were pulled over and the cop looked inside of the car asked the driver to get out then he came over to me and asked me to pull down my window and to get out, i did and they started asking me questions that i answered too and they came to the conclusion i was drunk, which i wasnt, the last time i consumed a drink that night (which was 3 beers around 12, we were pulled over at 230) i was extreamly tired at 3am and just wanted to get home and annoyed, the officer put his hand into the window and grabbed my purse i immediatly said they had no right to do that and they pushed me against the cop car and arrested me saying i was lucky i didnt get assult charges when i didnt even touch the officer he then opened my zippered purse (again i am a minor) and searched it while i said the whole time i did not agree for them to do that and what they were doing was against my rights ( PLEASE TELL ME IF I AM WRONG.) I was then put in the back of the car (and the guy who was driving was free to go) i was taken to the police station and was told i was being charged with being under the influence (which i wasnt even under the influence the day we were pulled over) i dont know what to do, but this is wrong and i need help. i was never given a BAC and told them i was not drinking the day i was pulled over ( i drank around 1130 the previous night and was pulled over at 230am) so they have no evidence.

What were you charged with? I am available by phone 732-458-5600 or if you email me ([email protected]) exactly what is on the paperwork you received. Your first inclination about the search is probably correct and it will be interesting to see how it is written up in the report.
