I am an 18 year old male and I live in Texas.
I was being dropped off at my high school by a friend of mine so that I could get my car from the school parking lot. As I walked to my car the parking lot attendatnt (not a cop) yelled at me to come to him (I was at least 15 feet from him). When I got there he asked me if I was drunk or high. When I said no, he took me by the arm and told me to empty my pockets. As I was emptying my right jacket pocket he reached in my left pocket and grabbed out a bag of pot containing less than one ounce. He then radioed a real cop to come arrest me. As I was waiting he said something like "Stay still, white boy."
I have an option of 9 months probation. If I go to trial, do I have a shot at getting a not guilty verdict?
