You have raised a lot of issues. The stop may be bad, the search may be bad, the arrest after passing exercises should be looked at closely. You should contact an experienced criiminal and DUI attorney. It sounds like your were arrested for either DUI, possession, or reckless driving or all 3. You should not try to do this alone. My advice would be to get an attorney in or near the county where this occurred or get an attorney where you live to coordinate this.
