What is the name of your state? California
recently got 23222(b), driver in possession of marijuana (i told them it was in my trunk and they found it). i had less than an ounce (less than 1/8 to be exact). Court is Torrance superior court (Los Angeles County). I have never been in trouble w/ law and do not have any criminal records and honestly i am very very scared. Do you guys know what is going to happen? all i could find on the internet was $100 fine at max. is it worth getting a lawyer for something like this? is the misdemeanor charge gonna be expunged in 2 years? will my driver's license get a point penalty? on my driving record, will it specifically say what type of crime it was? will it show that it was a misdemeanor? Everyone is telling me it is a minor crime and i shouldnt be worried but this kind of thing never happened to me and i'm paranoid. Your advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
