    Default Possession Charge and Open Container in Vehicle

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Michigan

    A couple days ago I was pulled over for speeding and the cop asked to search my car where he found an open container. When he discovered that, he then cuffed me and my passenger while he searched the rest of my car. He found a very small amount of marijuana as well. Because we cooperated, he did not arrest us. He just issued us a citation. I have no previous charges related with these and was wondering what I can expect for a penalty cost and probation terms..?

    For the open container, expect a fine of ~$100.

    For the pot, you may be eligible for conditional release. You'll be assessed fines, to be determined by the court.

    Probation, if you're eligible, will be determined by the court.
