Arrest, Search, Seizure, Warrant entrapment or illegal search and siezure?

okay so me and two friends were hanging out at my place. We went outside they got into there truck. I sat outside and talked to them. They hadn't even started the truck yet when a police officer pulled up behind them. Since i wasn't inside the truck i ran over and talked to the police officer. He said my friend had an expired plate and that he needed to talk to the driver. The officer told me to go sit inside the truck while he talked to him in private. So i sat in the truck. He searched my friend (found nothing) then came to the door and told me he needed to search the truck and everyone in the truck. Long story short he found pot on me. Now i'm being charged with possesion and delivery of a controlled substance. Furthermore they got a search warrant and searched my place and found seeds and "hightimes" magazines so i'm being charged with manufacturing. Also they were inside the house searching before the warrant was issued. And no one had given them permission. So my questions are, when he told me to get into the truck was that entrapment? Did he have the right to search the truck when the truck was parked on private property and not turned on? I had just got paid that day, will i get my money back that was siezed if it turns out that the search was illegal?

These are questions for your attorney. Be aware that the lower courts will not usually toss evidence, you have to go to an appeal. It does sound like an illegal search but fighting it will be expensive. The easiest way to avoid these problems is to not have anything illegal on you or in your house.
