My question involves criminal law for the state of: Michigan
I am a 19 year old college student who was sitting in my car in a park, just listening to music, when a cop walked out of the woods to the right (passenger side) of my car, walked over and asked me what i was doing, having smoked about half an hour ago, and having weed in my pocket and a bowl in my car, but not visible, i was very nervous. the cop noticing this immediatly asked me if i had been smoking anything, when i tried to dismiss it he said he knew i had been doing something so i confessed and told him i had, he asked if i had anything and i gave him a little nugget (a gram or less) and the bowl in my car. he then proceeded to search my car and told me i wasnt going to jail but i would be receiving a ticket and a court date. i ended up with a midemeanor possesion of marijuana and miwd, possesion of paraphanalia. ive consulted a site that finds lawyers in my area, and so far one of them has responding with something along the lines of proving he had no reason to approach my car, just wondering what kind of worrys i may need to have, as i really cant have anything on my record, as it would negate all of my fedral funding for school. sorry about the pages of text, but thanks for the input. and it is my first offense
