What is the name of your state?
New York
My friend and I were smoking marrijunana in Manhattan two weeks ago. Undercover officers saw us and came over to us. They made me empty the One gram of weed that I had on the ground.
They said they were going to be nice and give us citations for disorderly conduct rather than possecion. I have a court date in Januaray.
My questions are, 1. Is this going to be a civil court or criminal court that I go to? 2. Will the judge know about the marijunana involved? 3. I have no prior record, If I pled guilty what happens, is it going to mean I have a misdomenor charge on my record, or will I just have to pay a fine? 4. Should I get a lawyer or deal with the Public Defender?
