long story short i got pulled over driving back from eqx fest in saratoga ny.
possesion of alcohol and possesion of marijauna charges for having 2 beers in my bad and 2 roches in my cigarette box. blew 0's.

i basically have no idea what to expect so can you all share your experience so i can be better prepared for the date. i havnt told my parents or anything and im wicked worried. what happens at these dates? anything i need to prepare?

are you under age?

if anything you'll get a missdemeanor for possession. you didnt have that much on you anyways. shouldnt be that big of a deal.
you may want to tell your rents though

at the end when the judge asks you if you want to say anything thats your time to shine, just pull the wackiest shit ever, like how you learned from this experience. Just dont absolutely DO NOT talk about how you dont think its a big deal, act like just murdered some one and from that the judge will decide what you deserve

well, watch your mailbox if you don't want your parents finding out, they usually mail shit to you and stuff. Your first date will probly just to plead guilty or not guilty. But, for something so minor and stupid, just tell your parents, try to get a public defender or pay for a real lawyer, or don't. The outcomes will probly be about the same anyway. You'll probly ahve to pay a fine of like a a couple hundred bucks, or do some community service.

Get yourself a good, well connected lawyer. My older brother got caught with a lot of stuff and got the charges dropped completely, all he had to pay for was legal fees

i got caught in a similar situation except i was drunk but my lawyer got me off with a 50 dollar fine he argued that the brethalizer isn't an accurate way of determining how drunk someone is and they didn't give me the sobriety test so they had no proof of how drunk i was but yeah 50 bucks plus 500 for the lawyer but whatev

yea, totally right. and whatever you do.. dont lie, cause they will know.l. tell the truth.l. but twist it, like you realize what a problem you have, and you really are trying to work on it.. something very gay like this.

o and you should plea by mail and not waste time going to court the first time because all they do is record your plea. plea not guilty so you can atleast have a chance to get it dropped or reduced
