What is the name of your state? New York
Ok so this is what happened. Was walking home around 1:30 AM and decided to hit a bat(small metal looking cigg used for smoking pot). Bad decision because there was a cop that I didn't see like 10 ft away. Walked over to me and was basically like what is that. Was upfront and told him. He confiscated it(i dont think that there was any marijuana left in it when I gave it to him). He then handcufed me put me in the back of his car and brought me to the station. He ended up writing me up an court appearance ticket for Criminal Possession of Marijuana. Do I need to get a lawyer or should I go with the PD. Also what are the chances of this not being on my permanent record? Thanks alot for any help.
