Hi. I have a question if this is a unjustifiable arrest.
I live in illinois.
I have had my license suspended and received a probationary license from the sec. of state. No restrictions. So driving home one day, with my seat belt on, a State cop pulls beside me then pulls me over. He comes up and says that I wasn't wearing my seat belt. I told Him that I was, but he did not care. Anyway, when he asked for my license, I told him the story how it is suspended but I have a Probationary permit. He tells me he has never seen one before and my license is suspended and arrests me. Before they tow my car, the search it and find Under 2.5 grams of weed. So, I was arrested for under 2.5, and driving under suspended. Also, car was towed.
The next day I called the Sec. of State and made sure I was ok. He said that it never should have happended, and I was ok to continue driving. I wanted to make sure, so it would not happen again.
So, it happended again. I called the Lieutenant in charge. He said that they would take care of it. They didn't, and I went to court, and they didn't care. All they wanted to know was guilty or not guilty.
So my Question is, What the hell is going on?
But really, since they had no reason to arrest me the under 2.5 should get thrown out, right?
Any help on what to do.
