My question involves criminal law for the state of: New York
My cousin, a minor, was arrested for criminal possession of marijuana (less than 25gs).
My understanding is that he may be subject to a fine and some additional sanction (e.g., counseling, community service).
Our concern is that this may be something that stays on his record -- or that he may go on probation.
Will this go on his permanent record? I don't believe it will.
Also, will he be put on probation?
Thanks
