    Default Possession of Marijuana for a Minor

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Virginia

    OK so I was trespassing on Fairfax County property, and I was searched by Loudoun County police, they found a metal pipe with marijuana resin in it and an empty bag with marijuana particles in it. They did no test on it and they did not arrest me. They said they would come to my house and talk to my mom and that I could be charged with possession of marijuana.

    This happened 4 days before my 18th birthday... and I don't know how this will all work out because I heard your record gets cleared when you turn 18.

    Hopefully they don't charge you b.c 17 is considered an adult in most states.normally if your charged as juvi then your record is sealed at 18.Some times place have youthful offender status for ppl who are 17 or 18,the places has to have and it's not automatically granted. They might also just have diversion in general. If you are charged as about those things.

    They might not charge you,I would apolize and say you realize this is a wake up call and you don't want to be stuck w. a record.

    Ask about youthful offender or a diversion program,some states offer them.There not automatically granted or available in every state. 17 is an adult in most places,if your charged as a juvi then the convictions is normally sealed or expungment at 18. You want to try and see if you can get them not to press charges.
