What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York.
My sister was arrested but released 30 minutes later once the police saw that she had nothing on her. they didn't fingerprint her, take her picture nothing.
She was standing with a group of so called friends who were smoking. The scent of the weed remained on her clothes. So the cops thought she was in possession.
However, because she took the word of the police that everything was "fine" she didn't think about the arrest again and just erased it from her mind. It wasn't until she went to apply for a job that she found out she had a warrant for her arrest.
She is now worried out of her mind her court date is next month and she is afraid she will go to jail or have to pay a fine for something she didn't do or have.
What typically happens in these situations, will she be arrested, have to pay a fine. Can she have this charge removed from her record expunged or certificate of disposition? someone please HELP. Thank you.
