State: SC
On Aug 29 I was arrested along with a group of my friends for simple possession. The driver (not myself) was pulled over for a busted tail light and the cops said that they smelled pot so they searched the vehicle and found about 1/2 oz. Half of the pot belonged to one of the people who was in the car who admitted to it... the other half belonged to another friend who was not with us. We tried to tell the police that the other pot belonged to the person who was not with us but they did not believe us.
When booked they asked me if I had ever been suicidal to which I answered yes (since I have) they also asked me if I had experienced suicidal ideations in the past 24 hours to which I answered yes (since I had contemplated suicide earlier that day). The officer then became infuriated at the fact that he would have to take me to the hospital and threatened to write me numerous tickets including: distribution, unfastened seatbelt, lack of ID (even though I was not the driver), along with some other things that I can't remember. We ended up at the hospital until 2AM... that must have been okay with him because he only wrote me a ticket for simple possession even though it was not my pot. I cannot afford for this to be on my record... what can I do?
