    Default Possession of Marijuana in Public Place

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: New york

    Im from Long island suffolk county and ive never been in trouble with anything in the law before. I went to manhatten to see the redbull snowscrapers competition yesterday, and when i was trying to park a cop walked up to my window and asked me for my license, i guess cause i was blocking traffic a little bit when i was trying to park.

    Anyway, after that he actualy told me to step out of the car and said he smelled marijuana. Now the truth is, me and both my friends i was with, do not even smoke marijuana. But my brother drives this car also, and he does smoke marijuana, its possible it was his i havent even told anyone about this yet though because its embarassing to me. Anyway the point is, they searched the vehicle, they managed to find blunt scraps on the floor in the back seat, and a bag with just a little bit of residue in it, it was kinda smelling too. im 100% that is was less then 1 gram, i bet it wasnt even .5 grams in that thing. definantly not enough for even half a joint.

    Anyway, they arrested us and we missed the show, sat in the cell for about 3 hours and now all 3 of us have a desk apperance ticket.

    No one confessed to the marijuana being theres because it honestly was not any of ours, we all dont smoke marijuana.

    So ive never been in trouble before and im just trying to figure out what i have to do to get out of this, i really want it dismissed, but my friends saying just plead guilty and pay the fine cause its easier. but 1 im so broke it aint a joke, and 2 i really dont wanna see any of this go on my record! i dont take any type of drugs at all!

    so i just need a little help im really confused on what im suppose to do here, what i said here is the gods honest truth , so what would you do in this situation? Also how much is the fine if i plead guilty?

    thanks for any help at all.
