It is with great displeasure that I am discussing this, but I am hoping to get the right advice. Last week my 18 year old daughter had been with some friendsat their home inPlum Boro. Someone called the local police to report possible marijuana use. The police searched the premises with the kids in separate rooms. They did not find any drugs. One of the officers went through my daughters hand bag without her knowledge and found a pair of brass knuckles. She is being charged with possession of a weapon. She told me someone gave them to her over a year ago and she kept them as a conversation piece. She never would have any intention or even have the mental fortitude to use them against anyone. I'm not trying to excuse her ignorance, but first, the police did not ask permission to search her personal belongings, they were not creating a disturbance at this residence or being disorderly. In my opinion, this appears to be kids not knowing their Constitutional rights and being taken advantage. Aside from all that, what are we facing here and do we have any defense?
Thanks, from a stressed out old man.:banghead:
