So, let me explain. Hopefully, I can get some advice/help. I used to live with my girlfriend. We are still friends, but she can be a little high strung.. Anyways... as advised by a police officer , I called, met with a police officer to escort me to our old apartment to get a couple of appliances and tools that were mine to avoid an problems over what was hers and what was mine. I am basically trying to cover my ass. Anyways...the police officer comes in, i've got my stuff and I am ready to leave (it took about 2 minutes) and the cop notices a bowl on a table. (my ex knew the police were coming and still left it in plain sight?!? wow) so then they ask if they can search (to which i do not respond) but my girlfriend gives consent because other than a couple of pipes that are in view there is nothing else in the home.

so then the police officer told me that I had been living there over a year, which is not true. I do not have my name on the lease, i never have, the address is not on my ID, none of the bills are in my name. which even if I was on the lease, it was from September 2007, so I could not have been a year. I paid rent for October and November and have been spending most of the time since then staying with different friends since then, I just recently found a new permanent roommate. All of my clothes, personal items, etc were gone from the apartment. I was escorted by my request by a police officer so I could get my tools and appliances from the apartment without incident. He kept putting words in my mouth and would not listen and repeatedly told me to shut up when I tried to explain to him that I did not live there but he insisted that I had lived her "for a year". None of it made any sense.

in the end, i got a charge. we both did, since the officer said it was both of us. this is word for word what the ticket says.

Any thoughts / advice? This seems so wrong, because while I love marijuana, the reason I moved out in the first place was because she was so irresponsilbe and doing other drugs that I did not want to be a part of my life. The officer took 2 pipes and a bong, neither of which were mine.
