What is the name of your state? NY
on early sunday morning i was ticketed with a chalked id.
i was then charged with the same thing the next morning by the court.
criminal possession of a forged instrument in the third degree
im ordered to go back in a month, which is no biggie.
but this is my first time being charged with a misdemeanor.
a. should i be that worried.
b. how much will the fine be.
c. should i just go with a public defender; because where i committed the offense was over 1.5 hrs from where the lawyer id be using is located.
d. how long will it stay on my record for.
e. should i plead not guilty or guilty. even tho they have my chalked id in there hands.
edit: for reference i violated 170.20 of penal law of new york state.
