Jholden,
Do what you believe is right. The user CDJAVA is a cop and will disagree with everything. I had a case of possession of controlled substance while armed with a firearm and i thought it may have been an illegal search.Well the great advice he (CDJAVA) gave me was see below:
NOTEMy Case has now been dissmissed thanks to good judgement & not lousy advice.
Well good for you. But, I stand by what I posted. I don't see where I ever posted anything incorrect or errant ... do you?

A case can be dismissed or not prosecuted for a host of reasons (note that a judge dismisses a case, if a judge did not dismiss the matter, it was not dismissed, it was merely not prosecuted by the DA ... dismissals are very rare unless as a result of a bad search or, occasionally, a lack of probable cause for an arrest and subsequent incriminating statement or discovery.)

There is no way to account for every detail in a case when it is posted to a web forum and commentary here should never be taken in any way as legal advice - that is something everyone needs to take up with an attorney.

Hopefully you have changed your circle of friends and have stopped using dope. I'm skeptical but ever optimistic.
