My Son Is 17 Yrs Old. We Live In Texas. He Was Pulled Over By The Police Because They Stated He Was Driving Crazy. They Told Him He Smelled Like Alochol And He Requested Any Type Of Field Sobriety Test They Could Perform Because He Was Not Drinking. He Was Refused This Test. The Officers Asked If They Could Search His Car And He Told Them Yes. They Found Nothing Inside The Car But Did Find Empty Bottles In The Trunk. They Arrested Him And Took Him To The Jefferson County Jail And Booked Him For Minor In Possession Of Alcohol. He Was Subjected To All Sorts Of Verbal Harrassment (called A Queer And Faggott, Etc. - And He Is None Of Those Things). He Asked For The Abusive Officers Names And They Just Pointed To They Name Tags. He Asked What The Initial "m" Stood For And They Told Him It Stands For "me". (m.johnson). From What I Have Read He Should Have Been Given A Ticket And Released, But He Was Taken To Jail And His Car Was Towed. I Have Made Several Calls To The Police Dept And To The Internal Affairs At The Jail And No One Will Return My Calls. Is It A Violation When You Have Empty Bottles Or Cans Locked In Your Trunk? The Vehicle Is Registed To His Dad And Could Have Very Well Been His And Not My Son's! What Do You Advise?
