Would just the Minor Misdemeanor for Marijuana possession result in a Criminal record for my first offense! IF not surely the Paraphernalia Charge for the plastic bag will since it's a much worse offense! The minor traffic violation would not result in a criminal record correct? I have just finished with court and have been given fines and have lost my license for 180days!
I'm only 21 and don't think I deserve a criminal record for this! I appeared before a magistrate and did forget to ask these questions to the magistrate! Because without the opportunity for future employment, how can those with a criminal record be afforded a chance to make a fresh start and become contributing members of society? I plead guilty to the possession and no contest to the rest! Did I poorly represent myself? My total fines and court cost comes to $360 and loss of license except for work privileges.
