I finally had my first marijuana-related run-in with the police. But here's the kicker...I didn't do anything!
Last night, I was smoking in a car with a couple friends. We weren't driving, just sitting and smoking. We then went inside and played video games for a few hours.
On our way back from dropping one of my friends off at home (the one who brought the bud), we headed towards my house. Literally, not more than three or four blocks from my home, we see the red and blue lights in the rear-view. Now, we know the car smells like pot and so do we, but we didn't have anything in the car (that we knew about, his car is a huge f*cking mess) so I was feeling confident that nothing would happen.
We were both extremely courteous to the police, and when they asked to search the car, we obliged. So I get frisked and then wait in the back of a cruiser while they waited for back up (no idea why). There were a total of five cops and a drug dog on the scene...just because the car smelled like pot. It took three cops about twenty, twenty five minutes to search through all the crap in his car. After awhile, i saw a cop put something on the roof of the car.
Last friday, a friend of mine bought a new bong. That night, he lost his slide and nobody knew where it was. Turns out, it was under a seat: my seat. The thing was coated in resin, and so the two of us got charged with paraphernalia and possession of under an ounce (because of the f*cking resin).
You know what sucks? I didn't even contribute to the resin that was built up on the slide, I just got stuck with the consequences...messed up, right? i was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
So now I have court. Luckily, because the friend who owned the slide is still technically a minor, and his parents tolerate his smoking, he's gonna come to court with me and admit that the slide was his. I don't really know what's gonna happen, because I've never been to court, but I'm trying to stay optimistic.
So there's my story. Nothing major, I know, but I've never been in trouble with the cops before. Can anyone tell me what I can expect in court? Like, what the usual process is in trying these sorts of cases? Any help would be appreciated, I still kinda shaken up from it.
