My question involves criminal law for the state of: New York
Ok so I am a minor and i was rolling a joint in a car. We pull into a restaurant then a cop throws his siren on, i was rolling it on a laptop, so i immediately brushed the weed on the floor out of instinct. We tell the officers we blazed in the car before, because we did and they were fine with that. I had no weed on me at all and the 20 year old who was in the car admitted he bought the weed and we all threw down on it.
However, since i was "tampering" the evidence by brushing on the floor i was the only person summoned with UPM. Were i was summoned iss 2 hours away.
I never got in trouble before, im a honors student, and i just was rolling a joint for the ride home.
Will this effect my record and how should i go about this, should i plead not guilty because I had no possession of marijuana on me and the 20year old admitted he got the weed.
Thank you so much
