My question involves criminal law for the state of: Maryland
Hi im am 20 years of age Looking forward to joining the navy. Me & some friends recently got pulled over because the police though we had weapons in the car (which were really paintBall markers)..... After pointing their guns at us & Sitting us on the curve, one of the Officers begin to search me, they find my cigarette Roller, cigarette rolling papers & an empty baggie in my front pocket which i forgot i had(& Which i am sure Smelled of Mari too) After asking me a million questions on what was in the bag & where did i hide the drugs.After not answering the officer they threaten to bring the K-9 unit out. I panic because my fear of dogs an yell "What the F*ck. Whatever you are looking for i dont have it on me". They let me be & turn to my friends...this was my first offense ever so they did not put me under arrest but gave me a Criminal Citation & told me to wait for a letter to receive my court date...
If you need more info, i can give it to you. But i'm really just trying to find out What i should expect in court, what my options are & if its possible to get these charges expunged... & i plan on getting an lawyer but i really just want to know a little more before i go in and spend a bunch of money.
