If they didn't see you put the marijuana in your pocket, they couldn't technically search you for it.

They violated your rights.

You are correct!!!

Those officers did violate your rights as a citizen. They are suppose to tell you your rights before answering any questions. Did you receive a fine? If so I think your brother should pay for it since it was his bud. I mean you should of placed the herb in your bra so that they couldn't search you there
