    Default Possession with Intent to Use Drug Paraphernalia

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Maryland.
    I was given a uniform criminal citation in a Maryland State Forest for paraphernalia with intent to use. I was arrested once before 30 years ago. A buddy of mine was also given a citation for possession of pot and paraphernalia. He was being detained when I arrived at the scene. I voluntarily let the DNR officers search my vehicle where the subsequently found the pipe in a box in the back of my vehicle.I have been summoned for trial and am not sure if I should plead guilty or no contest. Can anyone offer any suggestions as to a course of action? Thanks.

    The court will treat guilty and no contest pleas in exactly the same manner - you will be convicted. The court may not be willing to accept a no contest plea.

    I suggest consulting a local criminal defense lawyer.

    I understand that I will be convicted. I just wasn't sure what the difference between a no contest and guilty pleas were. Thanks for the suggestion,
