What is the name of your state? Georgia
(i notice alot of these threads are for GA offenders, whats up with that lol)
Ok so in January of 2008 i was at home awaiting my friend to come pick me up and take me to my GED class. When my friend stopped by, with another friend, they wanted to buy some marijuana and smoke before we left, so they bought some, from a unspecified person in my apartment complex, and proceeded to smoke in my room using my pipe. We were in a hurry so we didnt finish off what was packed into the pipe, and i was already high so i was gonna let them borrow it while i was gone to class.
We go outside and get in the car and a Cobb County Police cruiser passes us by, and naturally we became cautious, yet we pulled off anyway, and the cop turned around and followed our car out of the project housing complex. I kicked the pipe under the passenger seat, i was sitting in the back seat. Anyway the officer sees three white guys leaving the hood (yes i live there) and pulls us over outside the exit.
He immediately asks the driver to step out of the car and searches him. Gives no reason why hes searching him. he finds marijuana in his wallet and arrests him. Another officer arrives at the scene and me and the passenger get searched. They find nothing on me and him, we were clean. They begin searching the car and find nothing. When the officer began looking under the passenger seat, the arrested persons money began flying off of the trunk due to wind, and the officer had to chase after it and didnt look under the passenger seat again. They tell us we could leave, so we begin walking down the road and get picked up by a friend and drive back to there house.
After ten minutes or so, the same two officers arrive at the house, and arrest us, without reading any rights, or stating why we were being arrested. Although they told us that they found the pipe after a second search of the vehicle after we left the scene.
I am being charged with GVCSA marijuanna, although i wasnt posessing any drugs at all. This is the first charge i have recieved since i turned 18 years old. Im wondering what i could do about this when i go to court on the 27th of march 2008. I heard that i might be able to plead Georgia First Offenders Act since i havent plead it before in any charge.
Any idea what can be done and what type of punishment im looking at?
