What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NC
I was driving my car, and pulled over for aggressive passing on a parkway where i live...
When the police man pulled me over, I reached in the glove box for my registration and closed it back, there was an officer at my window and an officer at my passenger window. A mercedes coupe so you can see throught the whole interior from one window. The officers walked away, and then they walked back. The officer on my passenger side noticed what looked to be a dime bag in my glove as i opened it.
I had let someone borrow my car and new nothing about it.. They tested it, positive for powder.....
ok here is what im confused about- They drove me in for processing before they brought out the K9 to search the car. My wallet was left in the car with about 940 bucks in it...
then my car was parked in the church parking lot, by an officer...
The police men that took me in were very pleasant, because i wasnt a criminal... I have no prior charges at all.. never been locked up or in trouble with the law....
I went before a magistrate, and she gave me a 1000 dollar bond within 1 hour of being arrested, based on me and the information she had.
My question to you is how should i go about this? I have brothers who have been situations like this and they tell me to bite the charge and take a plea,
I have also heavily considered getting an attorney to fight the case and advise me of my rights....
I do know that if my wallet was in my car and it was not evidence in my case, the arresting office should not have driven it to the station with all my money in it, simply because there was 300 dollars missing in it.
also considering the amount of it, and my clear background, and working and student history, what will I be facing....
thankyou for your advice....
