My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Connecticut
Just recently a few friends and I were drinking some beers at a parking lot in my car. Long story short I lied to the cop about nothing being in the car and he found a 30 rack and a bottle of rum. After further searching he found my one hitter packed with a small amount of weed. Got nailed with possession of alcohol by a minor, less than half ounce, and paraphernalia. I am 17 and have never been in trouble with the law before. My question is what should I expect my consequence to be? I wasn't given a ticket, just a court date. I am aware my license will be suspended and I will have to pay some sort of fine. Also will this be expunged from my record when I turn 18? Any tips on how to go about court would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
