I need advice....
I along with two other people, one girl, one guy, pulled into my college parking lot, with two bottles of alcohol, new and unopened in the back seat of the car in a brown grocery bag. We got out and were deciding whether or not to bring it in, while passing it back and forth and then deciding to go to our dorm rooms and get a back pack and come back to bring the alcohol up. About 15 feet from my car 3 cop cars swarmed us and told us to stay right there. They then asked what we were doing and responded with "running some errands". They then looked into may car and saw a brown grocery bag, and asked abou it. I said it was my stuff. After much dispute we admitted we were at the liquor store and had 2 bottles of vodka. The three of us were givin MIP tickets and issued court dates.
My fried admitted to buying the alcohol without a fake ID. One of the cops took him in his car back to the store to identify the seller. Not one of us was drinking or had a fake ID on us.
What are my rights here? Also, do the cops have the right to do that? I need help
