• 911 was called on me because I pulled over to a store to take a nap because I was tired and couldn't drive home.

  Asked in Augusta, GA | December 17, 2025

  Someone called the police and said it was an unresponsive female in the car. While sitting in my car asleep, i was awakened by EMS and the police. The officer then went to passenger door, asking me my name, what I was doing out at night, and then proceeded to open my passenger door, asking me what was in the bags on my front seat, and was I on any opiates. He started looking in my bag that was in the front seat, asked me was there anything in car he needed to know about, mind you im still in shock because im being woke up unexpectedly and also he grab my purse and started pulling it towards him and then he stopped and stated let me see your license. So then I proceeded to get the same purse he had no business touching. So once I picked up my purse to get my license there where a dollar bill underneath it, I grabbed the bill and he also reached his hand towards me saying what is that. So the moral of the story is: Was he wrong for opening my door, looking through my belongings without proper search and seizure after stating in the police report he conducted a visual search while making contact with me?
