What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
Son - 19yrs old gets a 11357(b) Dec 2010. From what I've been reading this is a misdemeanor since he was two weeks shy of 1/1/2011 when possession of marijuana changed to an infraction.
What is going to happen when he goes to court? I've been reading on line about 11357(b) and it sounds like you can bring an attorney, but is it that serious? Is it just the judge or is some other official there like a DA there?
I don't want a misdemeanor on my son's record. I've been reading that you can ask or you will be asked if you want to go to a deversion program. Does the deversion program keep it off his record or he will still need to wait 2 years for it to be erased on its own. Also, what about losing your driver license because he is under 21? Is that automatic? Does the judge decide on the DL or the DMV?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
