Couple nights ago at 3am, me and my buddy parked my dads' van in an apartment complex and we were walking across the street when a cop shined the lights at us and detained us. We had nothing on us, no burglary tools or anything but there was a screw driver near the van, outside though, and they assumed we were there to break into a car or something. However, the officer asked for the key to the vehicle we arrived in and said, "You don't mind if I take a look around" without waiting for my answer, he went towards my van and opened it and found drugs, drug pipes, and other tools and booked us for substance possesion, paraphenelia, attempt 2 commit crime, and burglary! I was shocked to go to jail that night, out on bail now, I could use some advise with this case. The cop never asked me if he could search my van, therefore, did he have my consent? Why would they add burglary to the charges, if they assumed we were going 2 commit a crime? (they checked all the cars and told us that no cars were broken into but that our intentions were to break into a car...isn't burglary the act of cimmiting a crime? not intent?
Sorry 2 write so much but I could really use some help here...first time offense and I would hate to ruin my record, my life b/c of this...
