From California
My son (16yrs) and his girlfriend (17yrs) were sitting on his tailgate and watching some people ride their atv's. They said a cop car flew to his truck. The said that they were shocked as to how fast it was going. The cops got out and asked what they were doing. My son said that the were just hanging out watching the people ride their atv's. One of the cops looked at my son and said looks like your on meth. Which he wasn't. Both of them were searched. Nothing was found. They asked my son if they could search his truck. He said fine I have nothing to hide. The cop ended up find a small piece of marajuana. They were both charged with misdemeanor possession of marajuana 11357(b). He has never had problems with the law before. Did they have probable cause? We are suppose to go to court in the morning. I'm wondering what we should expect. Will this stay on his record? Would it be worth taking his report card showing that he is a good student?
