What is the name of your state? PA
A friend of mine was pulled over, the cops searched his car and found a bowl and less than 2g of marijuana. They arrested him, took him to the station, and then let him go. His car was impounded. They told him that he will receive something in the mail - to just plead guilty and he will just have to pay a fine. He asked if this will go on his record and the cop told him "no" and this will not affect his job (he has a government job), but the cop did ask where he worked and my friend lied. The cop also told him that his name won't be in the paper or anything because my friend asked that as well. Is any of this true or was the cop blowing smoke up his *ss. Also, this is his first offense. He doens't have any type of record. Do you think he needs a lawyer? I don't understand how he will just have to pay a fine and have no record if he was arrested.
