Last night I was coming home from my friends house in the city of Buffalo (I live in the suburbs). I had realized I left my laptop in his apartment and I called him and went back to get it, and on the way to his house a police officer pulled me over, although I had done nothing wrong. He asked me for my registration and license and I looked around my car then got them for him, at which point he asked me to step out of the car. He said he thought myself as well as my car smelled like marijuana, which in fact neither me nor the car did and I know for a fact the car was clean because I haven't smoked in it in forever. Anyways, he searched my pockets, then began to search my car, at which point I said "Officer you do NOT have my consent to search my vehicle." He did not hear me so I turned to a nearby officer and asked him if he heard me. He said he did and told the searching officer that I had "withdrawn my consent to any search" at which point the officer stopped searching my car, came to me, immediately cuffed me and told me "You have no rights", and put me in the car. He proceeded to search my car with other officers for 40 minutes, with his search yielding a clean scale which was returned to me, two shots of whiskey in a water bottle, a dirty pipe, and an empty pill container I used to use to hold weed, as well as a forward assist knife which he claimed was a switch blade. I was charged with possession of marijuana and cited a ticket for 12% rear window tints, and the officer said that he let me off easy. However, I think the knife was a legal knife as I went to Lowes and saw the exact same type of knife being sold there today. I also was wondering what will happen when I show up for my court date, because this evidence is being submitted but it was not found with any warrant or drug dog, and the officer knew damn well he had no permission to be in my vehicle. If anyone can tell me anything, any help is useful, thank you.

On another note, after the tow truck towed my car the officer lost something so I sat in his car while he went all over town looking for something that he never found. During this ride, I made special note of the officer speeding, at one point going 80 in a 45 while it was raining, running every stop sign and red light he came across, and even racing another officer. Can I do anything with this information if I get a lawyer or is it not worth the cop heat I'd take from any lawsuit.
