What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
Two days ago my friend was rolling a joint in central park and all of a sudden a cop shows up. he was there with 2 friends and one of them took off. the cop came took the joint out of my hand and told him to call his friend back or he arrests them both(the other friend that was there with him).
anyways my friend tried calling his friend but he thought that the cop is calling him from my friends phone and didn't pick up. he asked me friend if he has any more on him and he handed him over his weed(about 5 grams). so he asked me friend how old is he and he said 15 so the cop said something like ok i have to call ur parents then, so after my friend begging him to not do that the cop said something like "ok, lets work something out" so ends up he wrote his birth date as 1993 instead of 1994 and he misspelled his last name (forgot to write one letter) and instead of marking his address as CT(for connecticut) he wrote CN. he was given three summons one for possession of marijuana(it says section 104 sub 4 which i can't find any marijuana law with that section code) and for loitering for illegal purpose(again his hand writing is pretty bad but what i understood is section 104 sub M2 or somethin like that) and another one for fail to comply with something (section 105 sub C1 or something like that)
now my question is, what is he gonna get? is it possible for him to get an ACOD?
is it possible to get the case dismissed because of the bad hand writing?
and should he call the court and tell them about his misspelled name?
if he tells them about his wrong date of birth will his parents be contacted?
and finally he needs to postpone his court date coz his current one is the same day as his finals so how does he do that?
thanks
