This situation occured last sat night...We were sitting around my place smokin some green waiting for my buddy to get of work so he can buy us some beer.

A little later he arrives and me and him go on a beer run to the drive-thru. I was stoned as hell but made sure not to take anything with me. we get 2 cases of beer and some girly drinks for the ladies.

On the way home we get pulled over. Well my friend, Joe, is driving another buddies truck for the night so when the cop asked for reg and prof of insurance we have a little trouble finding it. He sees the beer and asks about it. Since I am only 19 we give him some bull shit story about how he is dropping me off and then going home to drink.

Well the girly drinks were all laying around my feet so he asks about them. He procedes to come around the car to my side. I open the door and he asks me to step out. The cop asked if I had been drinking or was under the influence of any other drugs. I tell him no sir. The whole time he was questioning us we were very polite. The cop then asks if any of the firly drinks were open. I told him no as none of them were. He then asks me if I have any weapons or drugs on me. I tell him no. He then half ass searches me. He checks the back pockets and feels a can of chew and a wallet. I confirm that this is correct. he then feels the outside of my front pockets. He asks what was in my front pocket and I tell him my keys. He then checks my jacket pockets were he finds nothing.

After all of this he checks my side of the truck while my friend is still in it and realizes I dont have a damn open container. After this he lets us go and we continue on with our night.

This issue has been bothering me because I was searched for no reason and was never asked. If it was just the truck he searched I would be upset because he had his suspicions about an open container but he had no fuckin right to search me. This was illegal correct? And what can I do about this...

I have a friend who works on this same cities police force. He is a real cool guy although i havent talked to him in prob 6 months. I think I might call him and ask him about this tomorrow.
