What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York (Suffolk County)
Hi, this is my first time posting here so I apologize in advanced if I am posting this in the wrong section.
Okay now here's my situation.
I turned 21 in March, so my license had expired on my 21st birthday. I was waiting for my new one to come in the mail (never did by the way) and I got pulled over about 20 days after my birthday, and the officer gave me a ticket for driving unlicensend. I never had a ticket before or anything, so the very next day I went down to the DMV and paid $50 for a new license and everything. I didn't pay the ticket.
Now in July I was in an apartment complex with a few people in my car. the two kids in the backseat were smoking weed (bad idea yes I know) and so someone called the cops and they came and asked who's it was, of course those wonderful kids claimed they didn't know whose it was so the police officer wrote all of us an unlawful possesion of marijuana ticket. she then told me my license was suspended (which I didn't know since I had it fixed) and so she gave me a ticket(with the misdeamenor box checked) for driving with a suspended license.(we were all arrested, not in handcuffs but she told us we were under arrest). Ok so the next day I went to the main dmv and paid the suspension fee, and claimed not guilty to that ticket from back in april. since I did technically have a license. that court date is Nov 4. The one for the marijuana and the suspended license is Sept. 21. what should I expect? I can't really afford a lawyer right now, should I ask for acod? I was already on acod for a year about 3 years ago. im really scared, I am trying to do the right thing with my life going to school. I don't drive bad or anything so I am really just looking for advice. I am losing so much sleep over this. thank you
