Get and attorney NOW and don't talk to anyone until you do. Either the stop or the search may have been illegal, although they probably weren't. If they were, then you might get the case dismissed. If they were legal, it is still easy to incriminate yourself even when you think that you are helping yourself. The police and prosecutors are experts at talking to you and you are not an expert at talking to them.
