What is the name of your state? Tennessee
Well, I was heading home from college for the holidays and was pulled over on the interstate by a state trooper. I was definately not speeding, as I had a small bag of pot and a pipe in my car, and cruise control was set to 70mph. The officer explained that he pulled me over because I was following too close and also because I had a tiny orange sticker on my liscense plate which he explained was illegal. (This sticker is actually my "parking pass" for my apartment complex, and if I don't have it, I get towed.) He then asked if I had any drugs in the car because he thought he smelled something, even though I had not been smoking in the car prior to this. As he had a dog with him, I gave him everything up front (1/8th of pot and a glass pipe) and he proceeded to search my car and find nothing else. I got charged with minor possession and paraphernalia, and this is my first time offense. I'm just curious what I might be able to do to keep a clean record, or what might happen to me in the end. Any advice is very much appreciated.
