My question involves police conduct in the State of: Florida
Hello,
On my way home from work, i was stopped at a red traffic light waiting to make a left turn.
i was momentarily distracted looking for my phone and did not see the light turn green.
the car behind me started honking, so i looked up and proceeded through the intersection.
Immediately after i was pulled over, the reason stated by the officer ,"was because of the honking at the light"
then he smelt the weed, i told him it was in my pocket, i was arrested for poss. under 20 grams and paraphernalia
i was not cited for any traffic violation, and really feel like i shouldn't have been stopped in the first place by this gung ho policeman
are my feelings unwarranted?
