need to know if rights were violated
To determine if your rights were violated, I need more details. Were you searched without your consent or a warrant? Did they not read you your Miranda rights at the time of arrest? Please provide more context.
they read the, after they asked me questions about the drugs
Based on your response, it seems your Miranda rights were read to you after the questioning. If questioning occurred before you were read your rights, your defense might argue your statements should be suppressed. However, a lawyer can provide specific advice.
my passengers purse was searched but she never said they could search her purse and she was not under arrest or had drugs on her
In Minnesota, law enforcement needs either a warrant, probable cause or consent to search personal belongings. If your passenger didn't give consent, wasn't under arrest, and there was no warrant, it could be argued as an unlawful search. Consulting a lawyer is advisable.
