I couldn't find another place that was appropriate for this question, so here goes.
Last night me and my friends were driving around, trying to find a place to smoke some Cuban cigars I brought home from the Bahamas. We went to this abandoned outdoor "Town Pool", We enter the lot, and just as we are entering, a cop is leaving. He immediately turns on the spotlight and stops us.
He asks why we are going down there, and we say some things. He also asks if we were possessing anything illegal, we said no, and kept saying he would write us up for trespassing. Then he left.
So two questions here.
1) Is possession of tobacco underage illegal?
2) Could he actually get us for trespassing? (We weren't even 10 feet into the driveway before he caught us, and he was already technically trespassing himself)
3) What is the right thing to do when next encountered with this situation?
