He could certainly have your 18 year old friend arrested for assault... and that's what he would be arrested for.  After that, with documentation, yeah, your friend could be sued for his actions.

you really need to talk somebody who knows Illinois state law. That is what they're going to get you under, and a good lawyer. There is a case Arizona v. somebody I can't remember right now. The summary is that they police can stop you for cause. They thought this man was a suspect in a nearby robbery so they stopped him and patted him down. No Gun nor stolen goods. however they did find a pack or MJ in his pocket. It was deemed inadmissible by the courts eventually upon appeal because the police can make up a probable cause that is unrelated to what they were looking for.\n\nHowever you are probably in trouble because the courts will most likely find that alcohol in the backseat is enough cause. Find a good criminal defense attorney or plea. Doesn't matter that it wasn't your beer. You were driving the car.

Yes, they sure can.  The Police may arrest you with a complaint and then decide to drop the charges, often for lack of evidence.\n\nThere is no legal issue there.  However, consult with an attorney about the evidence issue.  Without probable cause the search should be invalid, therefore, the evidence would not be admissable.  No evidence surely would make the charge go away.  Good luck!

Your friend still has rights, but generally one of the terms that your friend may have agreed to as part of the agreement for probabtion is that the police can search without cause any time they want as often as they want. Your friend would be subject to the same type of "harrassment," as you put it, if he/she were in jail or prison. The purpose being that, while you friend is not in jail or prison, you friend needs to obey the law at all times to avoid being sent to jail or prison.

Yes.  One is usually charged with an infraction BEFORE appearing in Court on said offense.   To be honest, if it is a petty crime, then you may luck out, depending on your level of probation.  If you must report weekly, drug test, etc...then I'd tell my PO.  If you are on unsupervised probation, then you may get away with it.  I am a paralegal and thus, can NOT give legal advice, but these are the option I see.

Technically, it's NOT ILLEGAL, but...\n\nWhy tempt fate?  If you were to have it on you and you were detained for any reason, it would make you look awfully suspicious.\n\n\nGood Luck.

The police can detain any person at any time for reasonable cause and you can be held under suspicoun until you have been cleared or charged.  I believe there is a 72 hour limit on how long they may hold you till they must either free or charge you.

Heck,  no!  It's illegal!  Do you want to risk prosecution and incarceration for the sake of your friend's illegal habit?

I would definately be calling the authorities. That is highly illegal and your friend can prosecute!!! I know for a fact I would and all involved will go down.

Yea.\n\nBut the cops still arrested me.

You would walk up to them and tell them they are under arrest and they have to wait there for a police officer.\n\nBasicly you don't,  you call the police and inform of them of the crime.  In GA for example you can also file a complaint with the circuit court and ask for a warrant to be issued for a crime.\n\nYou risk danger of getting arrested yourself for illegal detaining someone,  you get hurt since the other personal normally does not want to be arested.

Probably not.  When he was re-arrested, the bail was revoked and he'll have to reapply for bail.  This time, you should leave him there and not jeopardize your house.

Who knows about Texas.  \n\nIn California, I can arrest anyone in public (and this includes a bar) who is intoxicated to the point that they are unable to care for their safety, or the safety of others.  If you're that drunk (and obviously this is open to some interpretation), you really need to be locked up if only for your own protection.\n\nOften, this happens with guys who have a few too many cans of man in them, and think they can take on the entire bar at one time.  That sort of shows they're not capable of taking care of their own safety very well.

Yes, they can and do if they feel it is justified.  I did it once, but only as supporting evidence for the case where a defendant tried to say it was his cousin’s weed and he never touched the stuff.  At the time, I was a very young officer and didn’t even have any test kits in my car.  Fortunately, the Sgt was there and he DID have test kits in his car.  It was the defendant’s car and there was residue in the ash tray.  This was enough to convince the defendant to have a talk with the DA and the Judge before we actually stepped into court.  He decided community service was a very good option. \n\nJust remember, as soon as you think they won’t, they will.  Besides, if the pot is making you paranoid, also remember…..   we’re watching you.   m(*u*)m

Yes, it's still legal.\n\nAll that a cop needs is reasonable suspicion to stop a vehicle. \n\nArticulable facts concerning contraband can also permit a stop, without a traffic infraction.\n\nIt's also written into the legislation that they can stop to check for driver's licences and random breath tests. They don't even have to see you do anything wrong, and they can quite literaly pick people out at random if they choose to.\n\nThe fact that he found an illegal substance and beer in your car will DEFINITELY NOT sit well w/ the judge at your hearing in court...
