    Default First Time Possession/Paraphernalia in Nebraska

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Nebraska

    I was riding in a car with 2 friends after smoking marijuana when we got pulled over. We didn't have any marijuana left on us, just a pipe. The officer made the driver get out and called another patrolman in. The other patrolman tried to get us to admit to possessing marijuana at the time but we didn't have any on us or in the car. We admitted to smoking marijuana and having a pipe. The officers ended up searching the car and only discovering the pipe.

    The three of us in the car ended up getting tickets for drug paraphernalia and possession of less than an ounce, even though we didn't have any. He told us that we were getting the possession charge due to the fact that the pipe was still warm.

    My question is, should I be worried about my court appearance this month? I am a college student/athlete and am hoping none of this gets back to my parents or coach. What kind of consequences am I looking at?

    You're looking at civil citations, which do not create criminal records.

    For the possession charge, the fine is $300. For the paraphernalia, $100.

    Do note that subsequent offenses increase the punishments and create a criminal record.
