    Default Possession of Marijuana, 18 Years Old

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Rhode Island

    I got stopped yesterday because my friend didnt use a blinker when turning. 3 Cops came out and 1 saw the bong and we ended up getting searched. They found about a g and arrested me. I didnt take any drug tests and they confirmed i had a clean record.
    When i was 17 i was taken home by my dad at a party because i had a little bit to drink. I now have 2 court days within 1 week of each other for different things...I have court for possession of marijuana first. Btw they kept the bong, are they allowed to do that i had just bought it not even used it once. Do i need a lawyer? What will most likely be my punishment for both? Will i get drug tested? thanks for the help

    Yes, the police are allowed to keep the bong just as they keep the marijuana. Regardless, that should be the last thing you are worried about. You are going to need a lawyer to help reduce the consequences, which could be an entire year in prison and up to $1,000 in fines. The court also has every right to randomly drug test you at anytime throughout your probation period. Additionally, if the judge really wanted to he/she could suspend your license for 6 months because you were in a car, even if you were not driving. This is a serious matter that should not be taken lightly. I have been caught before and the judge had absolutely no sympathy for me. You have to stop smoking marijuana immediately in order to clean your system.
