My friend fell and hit his face in a bar he began to bleed so I carried him out; then a few cops came and wanted to take him into an ambulance. I told them “no I’ll walk him home” as I was unsure if he had health insurance. They insisted and I said “no I don’t want him to pay for a taxi ride to the hospital”

They said if I didn’t move they’d arrest me and then I told them it would be an “unlawful arrest”. They proceeded to start touching me, so I decided to grab onto a stop sign for some reason till they ripped me off. (You’re allowed to resist an unlawful arrest in my state) I know it was stupid though.

I was then frisked and illegally searched, violating my 4th amendment rights, after first violating my 1st amendment rights.

I didn’t have a wallet on me so they asked my name and I refused (my state doesn’t have a Stop & ID Statute) I was then placed in the back of a squad car. At this point an officer began questioning me (I wasn’t mirandized does this count as the beginning of questioning?) I wasn’t informed of any of my rights throughout the process, yet they held me for 12 hours. I never gave my name , but they booked me and figured it out.

I don’t have any prior criminal history, but I was belligerent throughout this whole ordeal. (I was being an asshole, but that’s no crime) They booked me for disorderly public intoxication ( I didn’t consent to any tests) and disorderly resist & obstructing.

My question is can I get this dismissed, I’m going to request body cam footage, acquire the police report and be arraigned; entering a plea of not guilty before I proceed with getting a lawyer. I feel it is an open and shut case and have thought about defending myself pro se. (I’ve watched too many movies but eh)

I’m also interested in pursuing civil litigation, any thoughts on some resources I can obtain before I go through this whole process?
