I was driving my roommates car with my cousin and got pulled over. My licence was expired, the plates were expired, the insurance had lapsed, and the licence plate light was burned out. The officer took my licence and didn't give it back, didn't give me a warning or a ticket, informed my cousin he had a warrent and didn't arrest him and told me to go home. The next day, three detectives show up at my door and say I was involved in a burgurlary and they "found" my licence at the scene of the crime. They accused me for awhile until I said they would have to speak with my attorney and I wanted them to leave my house. The next day I was at work they went back to my house and my roommate let them in. They searched my room which was locked without my permission and found nothing but had no warrent to do so in the first place. My roommates dad is the owner of the property and gave them permission to search the house, but I have a lease contract with him and had paid my rent. What should I do?

Hire an attorney.
Get a driver's license.
Don't drive a car that has no insurance or tags.
Stay out of trouble.
No, you can't sue the state. You were in the wrong with no license, illegal vehicle and just being a goof ball.

You need an attorney. Get one now, and make sure its a good one.
You are at fault in that you had no license, and there weren't any plates that were good, no insurance, no plate light.
That's pretty serious. The rest of it is crap.

Sounds like you were set up, if I were you just let your attorney handle it. If he thinks you have a case big enough to make his fees will tell you that you have a case. Good luck

Citizens cannot sue a state (see the 11th Amendment). You would have to sue the police dept. or an individual
