My question involves criminal law for the state of: Rhode Island
Last Night I Was With My Friend And We Had An Ounce On Us In A Wendy's Cup. We Went To Our Local DB Mart To Meet Up With A Friend Who Owed Us 10 Dollars. Cops Apparently Were Following Us and Thought It Was A Drug Deal. He Shined The Light Into The Car and Saw A lil' Tiny Flake Of Weed On The Seat. He Says Hes Going To Have Another Officer Come To Search Our Cars
The Other Cop Came Very Quickly, Within 2 Minutes, In An Undercover Vehicle. They Pulled Me Out And Saw A little Dime Bag On The Floor And Then Cuffed Me. They Began Searching The Car Thoroughly And Eventually Found The Ounce In The Cup.
My Friend And I Were Taken To The Station, Booked And All Of That, But Then Let Go An Hour Later With A Yellow Paper Saying To Appear In Court The First Of November. On That Paper It Simply Said "Possession Of Marijuana".
I Would Just Like To Know Whats Going To Happen On The First Of November And What Are The Consequences Of All This.
Thank You In Advance
Edit: I'm 18, Wasn't My Car, Denied Everything
