Possession of marijuana and curfew violation?

[sarahkatherine9]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Virginia

I'm 17 years old and was recently charged with possession of marijuana and a curfew violation. When searching my car the cop found a few bags, a pill bottle with less than .1g in it, and a bowl with some ash and resin. I was cooperative and the cop allowed me to drive home but followed me and talked to my parents. I still have not recieved a court summons and I will be 18 in about 2 months. Also I have a clean record thus far. What can I expect? What should I do? I was told to get a lawyer and make it look like an ex- drug problem but to make it clear that I am currently under psychiatric care.

Also, I live in va beach, if that matters at all.

Get an attorney. This will still be in juvenile court as the crimes were commited while you were a juvenile. You may receive a summons soon. Though this could be a warning issue. Stop the pot and stop breaking the law.

How was that NOT legal advice, little girl?

Then go pay for it, chickadee. And don't think of asking Mommy and Daddy to pay for it - this is YOUR mess to clean up.

consider it just another service provided.



btw; a judge is very likely to give you a lengthy lecture about how you should live your life. Why don't you try the same crap with the judge and see how far it gets you.
