    You are not an adult and need to get your parent(s) involved as you need to consult an attorney. If you can't afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you.

    You said you were "guilty of possession of.." did you plead to this, see a judge? It appears that something is missing as you went from search to probation and then asked what to plead.

    They took their "proof" from the blunt that they found not by your actions. So did the officer let you go? Drive away in the car if he thought you were high? Maybe I'm missing something!

    Id rather not get my parents involved of course, however my dad knows and I will bring him to the trial with me. I also said neither me or my family could afford a lawyer. I do have a mutual fund i could open that i started when i was 16 but I'd rather not as this seems to be an easy case to fight.

    They do not seem to be following protocol from the little that I know. And no I did not plead guilty. I repeatedly said in front of the officer that I didnt know where it came from. (When he found it and brought it over to show me, my first reaction was to ask him if he pulled that out of his pocket. It was pretty dumb to say but all the other officers got a laugh)


    And no I did not see a judge. They scheduled a meeting with a probation officer for a month from yesterday. I allready talked to him on the phone however and know what the terms offered are going to be. One of them is probation for 6 months with random blood testing (I Hate needles so Im not crazy about that)

    Now my question is should i accept the terms and save myself the time effort and money involved in fighting it or should I fight this and if i do what point should I fight.

    As I said earlier, you need to tell your parents so you can get an attorney!You don't seem to be worried about the charges you are facing probably bc you don't know exactly what it is. Do you know if it is something that can be expunged and kept as a juvenile or are you facing adult charges? This is something that could stay on your record. I find it odd that your father hasn't been notified to come with you to court as you are a minor.

    I know it maybe uncomfortable for you and hinder the relationship you have with your father, but this isn't something you want on your record espically if your innocent. You also may have a hard time retaining an attorney as you are a minor.

    Just one other thing to remember, a drug possession charge will result in a 6 month suspension of your driving privilege in PA. The smart move would be to seek a court appointed attorney or talk to the local bar about legal aid. (reduced attorney fees for people who's income qualify)

    You do not want a drug possession charge on your record, especially if they charge you as an adult. It will close a lot of doors later in life. This is NOT an easy charge to fight so get your parents involved ASAP!
