My best friend and I got arrested Saturday for Possession of Marijuana.

It started when we left his buddy's house. A cop drove past and saw us as we got in the car(We were in the car before he passed us but he may have saw us before we got in). we drove about 2 mins maximum, and had a cop ready to pull us over( he pulled up on the shoulder and was preparing to make a U-turn. He got behind us and pulled us over within a minute. The cop asked for his license n stuff. he gave it without a problem. The cop then asked if we had been drinking and my best friend replied "yes". He figured drinking would be a lesser of 2 evils. he said he had 2 drinks in the past 2 hours. the cop asked him to get out and do a sobriety test. he passed with flying colors. then he accused him of smoking pot and asked if he had any on him. he said there is a tiny bag in the car.

Meanwhile all this was going on i was in the car and another officer came and asked me for my ID. This cop then asked me where i lived as i attend college and don't live at my home address currently. the cop ended up knowing my stuck up roommate. he then asked if i was the roommate who lives there who has been "smokin' pot" at the apt. i said no and he asked again and asked if i smoked today or had any in the car. i said no to all of this as i was terrified.

After my best friend told him there was pot in the car the officer came back and said, "you lied to me and that makes me mad" or something of that nature. he made me get out of the car and patted me down. i then stood at the back of the car and waited while he searched the car for 20 mins(roughly). midway through his search i alerted him of another bag, mine, figured i would come clean before he found it. after searching the car the officer came and handcuffed us and towed his car.

it is Monday now and im seeking some legal advice. i have heard about asking for a 7411, and many people have been saying plead not guilty but i know nothing of this. i have never been in trouble with the law before. Is there any way that we could get this dropped because the cop didn't state why he pulled us over at all and didn't appear to have any reason. other than it was 2:30 in the morning and we were college students. gimme some advice. what should we do?
