State of California. I was arrested for violating CA penal code section 647(f) and spent 9 hours at the jail at the West Hollywood Sheriff's Station. I need to appear at LASC West Beverly Hills Courthouse on Tuesday, December 30th. The offense occured on Halloween night in West Hollywood, there was a lot of people around (mostly in costume) and I lost track of where my friends were at. The cop that arrested me was fairly vulgar and from what I remembered was on a power trip. I have no prior offenses (clean record) as well as a clean driving record. My friends and I arrived via taxi so I had no intentions of driving home that night. Do I need an attorney to get a copy of the police report? Do I need legal representation? If I need to get legal representation who will be able to attend a case on such a tight time frame? I am on an extremely tight budget right now so not having that extra expense will be beneficial if possible. What are the chances that I can get my record expunged? Again, other than this offense I have a clean record.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
