OP - I believe it. Also just last year the State (PA) was a decision clarifying probable cause standard for smelling marijuana upon initiating a traffic stop (http://www.clemonslaw.com/recent-new...ed-dui-arrest/). The stop itself is going to be seen as valid. The window tint alone gave them reason enough to pull you over. You're also correct that possession of the amount would simply be a misdemeanor and you could have been simply given a summons to sign on the spot and leave. The fact that you were taken by police to jail and detained, etc. etc. is confusing to me. Either you aren't sharing some details or the police completely over-stepped their bounds. Practically there is not much you can do. If you have loads of money to throw away you could try to hire a civil law attorney to review ALL your specific details privately.
I literally didn't leave anything out. I had no weapons and I did not do anything that would cause all this. My friend had weed and was given a ticket. Apparently westmooreland county isn't all that progressive
